27 Provision of required information and limitations on its processing

(1) This section applies to a requirement imposed under section 23(1) or (2). (2) Information provided in response to the requirement may be processed for, but only for, purposes specified in the requirement (see section 25). (3) Subsection (2) applies— (a) to the person to whom the information is provided, and (b) to a person to whom the information is disclosed, but, in the case of a person within paragraph (b), subsection (2) does not authorise processing contrary to the terms on which disclosure is made. (4) Subsections (2) and (3) are subject to subsections (7) to (9). (5) The requirement may specify how and when the required information is to be provided, including (in particular)— (a) the person to whom the information is to be provided (who may be a person other than the Secretary of State); (b) the form in which the information is to be provided; (c) the means by which it is to be provided; (d) the time or times at which, or by when, it is to be provided. (6) The requirement must specify— (a) the types of processing to which the information may be subjected, and (b) if the types of processing specified include disclosure of any kind, the forms in which the information may be disclosed. (7) Information provided in response to the requirement— (a) may not be subjected to types of processing other than those specified in the requirement, and (b) may not be disclosed in any form other than those specified in the requirement, except in circumstances specified in the requirement. (8) Subsection (9) applies if— (a) information is provided in response to the requirement, and (b) a person (“P”) proposes to make a disclosure of the information that is permitted by subsection (7). (9) Where P proposes that the disclosure should be of the information otherwise than in anonymised form— (a) P must consider whether the disclosure (if made in the form proposed) would, or might, prejudice the commercial interests of any person, and (b) if P considers that it would or might do so, the disclosure (if made) must be of the information in anonymised form unless the Secretary of State considers that it is in the public interest for the disclosure to be of the information in some other form permitted by subsection (7) (in which event the disclosure may be of the information in that other form). (10) In this Chapter “processing”, in relation to information, means an operation or set of operations which is performed on information, or on sets of information, such as— (a) collection, recording, organisation, structuring or storage, (b) adaptation or alteration, (c) retrieval, consultation or use, (d) disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, (e) alignment or combination, or (f) restriction, erasure or destruction.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
