# The Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 (Disclosure of Pupil Information by Welsh Ministers) Regulations 2011, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations provide that the Welsh Ministers may disclose to the Statistics Board the information listed in regulation 2 about individual pupils.
Regulation 3 provides that the Statistics Board may only use that information in order to enable it to produce population statistics and/or for the assessment of the census returns.
Regulation 4 places further restrictions on the circumstances under which personal information may be disclosed by the Statistics Board. Regulation 4 does this by modifying section 39(4) of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007, which provides the exceptions to the prohibition on disclosure of personal information held by the Statistics Board under section 39(1).
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
