Part 1: Regulatory scheme for automated vehicles Chapter 3: Provision of information by regulated bodies Section 17: Power to issue information notice
Subsection (1) of section 17 gives the Secretary of State the power to issue information notices to a regulated body (ASDE or licensed operator) if it is considered appropriate for any investigative purposes (as described in section 16). Subsections (2) and (3) are self-explanatory.
	Subsection (4) provides further information on the form and manner of the information. For example, it specifies the information notice can require information in various forms, or require the attendance of an individual at a particular time or place to provide the information. For example, if information is currently held in an extremely large database, the information notice could request a summary document.
	Subsection (5) requires the information notice to explain the meaning of compliance regarding the attendance of individuals (section 19(5)) and the consequences on non-compliance with the notice which could include both fines and imprisonment of individuals (as per section 20 Offences of non-compliance).
