Schedules Schedule 2: Medical Devices: Civil Sanctions Part 5: General and Supplemental Disclosure of information
Paragraph 16 provides that any relevant information held by the police, Crown Prosecution Service, a procurator fiscal, or the public prosecution service for Northern Ireland, may be shared with the Secretary of State for the purposes of exercising powers in this Schedule. Whether or not the information was obtained before or after the Schedule comes into force is irrelevant.
	Sub-paragraphs (3) to (6) make clear that these powers do not enable disclosure of information in contravention of data protection legislation or in contravention of the relevant provisions of the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, but that, other than these restrictions, disclosure of information under paragraph 16 will not contravene other legislative or common law restrictions on the disclosure of information.
