Commentary on Sections Schedule 1 – Disclosure and the Intelligence Services: Consequential Amendments
63.Paragraphs 1, 4 and 5  omit section 19(2)(a) of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, section 38 of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 and section 67 and subsection 39(4(g) of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 as there will be no need for the specific information-sharing gateways in these provisions once the new information-sharing gateway in section 19 is brought into force.
64.Paragraphs 2 and 3 make amendments to secondary legislation concerning the electoral register, removing restrictions in that legislation on onward disclosure by the intelligence and security agencies (as such disclosure will now be governed by section 19 of the Act), but preserving all rights conferred on the intelligence and security agencies to obtain information from the electoral register under the regulations.
