Schedule 1 to these Regulations makes amendments to secondary legislation in consequence of the coming into force of the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (c. 25).
Schedule 2 to these Regulations revokes provisions in secondary legislation that amended provisions of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (c. 23) that have been repealed by that Act.

One of the conditions is that the request is made in accordance with an international agreement designated for that purpose by the Secretary of State.
The amendment made by regulation 6 corrects an error in S.I. 2018/349.
