Mr Chris Pond (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Work and Pensions; Gravesham, Labour)

I beg to move amendment No. 35, in

clause 57, page 37, leave out lines 6 and 7 and insert—

'(c) by or on behalf of—

(i) the Regulator, or

(ii) any public authority (within the meaning of section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998 (c.42)) which receives the information directly or indirectly from the Regulator,

for any of the purposes specified in section 17(2)(a) to (d) of the Antiterrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (c.24) (criminal proceedings and investigations).'.

Mr Win Griffiths (Bridgend, Labour)

With this it will be convenient to discuss Government amendments Nos. 36 to 40, and 68 to 71.

Mr Chris Pond (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Work and Pensions; Gravesham, Labour)

These amendments are fairly technical and non-contentious, so if the Committee is happy with them, I shall not make a speech about them.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 36, in

clause 57, page 37, line 7, at end insert—

'( ) Section 18 of the Antiterrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (c.24) (restriction on disclosure of information for overseas purposes) has effect in relation to a disclosure authorised by subsection (2) as it has effect in relation to a disclosure authorised by any of the provisions to which section 17 of that Act applies.'.—[Mr. Pond.]
