Regulation 29 Part 6: supplementaryI1I2

A disclosure of information under regulation 28 F1or 28A does not breach any restriction on such disclosure imposed by statute or otherwise.

But nothing in F2those regulations authorises a disclosure that—

Nothing in this Part is to be read as requiring a person who has acted or is acting as counsel or solicitor for any person to disclose any privileged information in their possession in that capacity.

F3Regulations 28 and 28A do not limit the circumstances in which information may be disclosed apart from F4those regulations.

Nothing in this Part limits any conditions which may be contained in a Treasury licence.

In this regulation—

• “the data protection legislation” has the same meaning as in the Data Protection Act 2018 (see section 3 of that Act) M2;

• “privileged information” means information with respect to which a claim to legal professional privilege (in Scotland, to confidentiality of communications) could be maintained in legal proceedings.
