Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order sets out the extent to which certain public authorities specified in Schedule 1 to the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”) are to be relevant public authorities “for all parts of the United Kingdom” and are to be treated as being included in the list of public authorities in section 46(3) of the 2000 Act.
The effect of a public authority specified in Schedule 1 to the 2000 Act, being included in the list of public authorities in section 46(3), is that authorisations may be granted or renewed under sections 28 and 29 of the 2000 Act, by or in relation to that authority, where all the conduct to be authorised is likely to take place in Scotland.
Such authorisations may be granted or renewed under sections 28 and 29 where the authority is specified in Part I of Schedule 1 to the Act and in relation to section 28 only where the authority is specified in Part II of Schedule 1 to the Act.
