Part 2: Lawful interception of communications Chapter 3: Other provisions about interception Section 54: Safeguards relating to disclosure of information overseas
This section sets out the safeguards which apply when disclosing intercepted content and secondary data to an overseas authority. The Secretary of State or the Scottish Ministers must be satisfied that safeguards equivalent to those required by section 53 are in place, to the extent that the Secretary of State or Scottish Ministers considers appropriate. They must also be satisfied that restrictions are in place that would prevent, to the extent that they think appropriate, disclosure of the material in legal proceedings.
