Part 4: Foreign Activities and Foreign Influence Registration Scheme Section 76: Confidential Information
Subsection (1) provides that a person cannot be required to disclose information that is protected by legal professional privilege (LPP) (or its equivalent in Scotland - confidentiality of communications) as part of complying with obligations under FIRS. This is to ensure that FIRS does not interfere with this important right.
	Subsection (2) provides that a person cannot be required to disclose confidential journalistic material, or to identify or confirm a source of journalistic information as part of complying with obligations under FIRS. This aligns with existing UK legal precedent for protecting this material to provide protections for journalists and their sources.
	Subsection (3) sets out that "confidential journalistic material", and "source of journalistic information", have the meaning provided by the Investigatory Powers Act 2016.
