Part 5: Digital Government Chapter 3: Debt owed to the public sector Section 54: Regulations under this Chapter
Before making regulations under this Chapter the appropriate national authority must consult the Information Commissioner, each other person who is an appropriate national authority in relation to regulations under this Chapter, the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and any other persons the appropriate national authority thinks appropriate. The regulations may contain consequential, supplementary, transitional or transitory provisions or savings.
	The power to make regulations under section 48(5) to add to the Schedule includes a power to make provision that restricts onward disclosure similar to that made by section 51 in respect of information disclosed by the Revenue and Customs. This is intended to cover a situation where the nature of the body to be added is such that its information would require similar protection to that offered to Revenue and Customs’ information.
	Regulations made under this Chapter will be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure, which requires the regulations to be approved by both Houses of Parliament, or the equivalent procedures in the devolved legislatures.
