Section 92 ensures that all codes of practice made by the Commissioner (regardless of whether they are required by the in DPA 2018, or by regulations made by the Secretary of State) follow the same parliamentary process and have the same legal effects. It repeals section 128 (Other codes of practice) and replaces it with new section 124A.
	New section 124A provides the Secretary of State with the power to make regulations requiring the Commissioner to produce codes of practice giving guidance as to good practice in the processing of personal data, in addition to those set out in sections 121 to 124 DPA 2018. The regulations must describe the personal data or processing to which the code relates and may also describe the persons to which it relates. Before preparing the code, the Commissioner must consult any of those the Commissioner considers appropriate from the list at subsection (4). Such codes are to be required by regulations, which will be subject to the negative resolution procedure. In line with topic-specific codes set out in the DPA 2018, where ad-hoc codes made under new section 124A are in force, the Commissioner may prepare amendments of the code or a replacement code.
	Subsections (3) to (9) of section 92 make minor and consequential amendments to the DPA 2018, the Registration Service Act 1953, the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007, and the Digital Economy Act 2017 as a result of the repeal of section 128 of the DPA 2018 and replacement by new section 124A.
