http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2004/20043089.htm
This Order amends the Data Protection Act 1998 ("the DPA") and the Freedom of Information Act 2000 ("the FOIA") in consequence of the enactment of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 ("the FOISA").
It:
- amends section 1 of the DPA to extend the amendments to that Act made by section 68(2) and (3) of the FOIA so that the relationship between the DPA and the FOISA mirrors that between the DPA and the FOIA in that respect.
- it adds a new section 76A to FOIA to permit the UK Information Commissioner to share certain information with the Scottish Information Commissioner (reciprocal provisions are contained in section 63 of the FOISA)
- it adds a new subsection (3) to section 80 to extend the application of section 50 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 to the FOISA as it applies to the FOIA.
