Part 11 Information about dealings in land Section 224: Use of information Effect
Subsection (1) allows regulations to be made on the use of the information collected by the Secretary of State. Such regulations may provide for such information to be: (i) retained; (ii) shared with persons exercising functions of a public nature (such as other government departments and other public bodies) for the purposes of such functions, and (iii) published (for example to deliver on the 2017 housing white paper commitment to publish data on options and other contractual arrangements used by developers and others to exercise control over land short of ownership).
	Subsection (2) specifies that information required under the national security purpose may only be retained, shared or published insofar as appears to the Secretary of State to be justified in the interests of national security.
	Subsection (3) provides that regulations may provide for the payment of fees by persons providing information further to a requirement imposed by section 219 to the person to whom the information is provided in respect of any functions conferred on that person under Subsection (1) (with the intention of covering administrative costs).
	Subsection (4) makes clear that no civil liability will arise from the sharing or publication of information under regulations made under this section by reason of inaccuracies or omissions in respect of information that was provided.
