Part 3: Policing and investigation Chapter 2: Investigation of incidents by statutory inspectors Section 63: Powers in respect of persons
Subsection (1) permits an inspector to require a person to provide assistance to them for the purposes of an investigation, if they consider it necessary. Paragraph (a) provides that this may include (but is not limited to) an inspector requiring a person to take positive action to provide them with or allow them access to information, items, or material. For example, this could include access to an automated vehicle and the associated data that has been collected during the period around an incident of interest. Paragraph (b) provides that this may include an inspector requiring a person to refrain from doing something, such as disturbing, altering or moving anything specified by the inspector.
	Subsection (2) permits the Secretary of State to make regulations that allow specific forms of assistance to be outlined in regulations. This assistance in regulations may include attendance at an interview, responding to written questions, or providing an inspector with a physical item inside of the vehicle that stores data pertaining to the functions of the authorised automated vehicle.
