This is a new provision. Section 76 sets out a definition of the database operator and the arrangements the Secretary of State may make with a person that they appoint as the database operator.
Example: Transferring data between organisations operating the database
								Organisation A was the database operator and Organisation B is going to take over. The Secretary of State is able to make transitional provision as to how the law is to operate during the period of A giving up the function and B taking it over. This could detail matters such as the transfer of data from Organisation A to Organisation B and at what point Organisation A ceases its functions and Organisation B takes over those functions. The Secretary of State could also detail any regulations which do not apply during this period.
