Chapter 1: Collection and Sharing of Data Section 27: Provision of required information and limitations on its processing
Subsection (1) states that the provisions apply to requirements whether they are made under the general power or the power to set out requirements in secondary legislation.
	Subsection (2) provides that information given in response to a requirement can only be used for the purpose that was set out in that requirement.
	Subsection (3) stipulates that the requirement to only use information for the purpose for which it is provided apply to the first recipient of the information, and to anyone who subsequently receives the information. For example, a requirement for data may be issued for the purpose of "establishing demand level information" for a certain cut of meat. The authority may collect information about slaughterhouse throughput, which is then subsequently passed on to a different authority that collate the information to produce useable datasets. Both authorities would be obliged to only use the information for the specific stated purpose.
	Subsection (4) notes that the purposes for which information can be used are subject to the restrictions on how information can be used, and in what forms it can be disclosed, which are stated in subsections (7) to (9).
	Subsection (5) sets out that the requirement may detail matters including how, when, and to whom information is to be provided.
	Subsection (6) establishes that the requirement, must set out the types of processing to which the information supplied may be subjected and the forms in which information supplied may be disclosed.
	Subsection (7) sets out that information provided in response to a requirement may not be subjected to types of processing or disclosed in any form other than those specified in the requirement (unless the requirement specifies circumstances in which other forms of processing or disclosure may occur).
	Subsection (8) sets out that, where there is a proposal for information provided under a requirement to be disclosed, that disclosure is subject to the conditions set out in subsection (9).
	Subsection (9)(a) sets out that when there is a proposal to disclose information in a non-anonymised form, the person proposing the disclosure must consider whether the disclosure can harm the commercial interests of any person (meaning the person providing the information, or anyone else who may be affected by the disclosure of the information). Subsection 9(b) sets out that, if the proposer considers that the disclosure may be commercially harmful, then non-anonymised disclosure is not permitted, unless the Secretary of State considers there to be a public interest in disclosure.
	Subsection (10) defines what is meant by "processing" information and lists types of processing that information may be subject to. This could include, for example, aggregating price data, making certain information accessible (to the public or a class of persons), creating statistics, and benchmarking certain performance-related data.
