Amended text
This Article is shown as amended by Data (Use and Access) Act 2025; S.I. 2019/419 (see the annotations below), as incorporated in the text in force on 5 November 2026 as published on legislation.gov.uk.
Conditional amendment with no effect
legislation.gov.uk still lists the following conditional amendment(s) to this Article as not yet made. They have no effect, so the text above is not affected:
- Art. 77 heading: word substituted by S.I. 2026/386, Sch. 3, para. 41(3), para. 41(4)(z3)(i) (NB: conditional amendment: if 2025 c 18, s. 103 is fully brought into force before s. 119 is fully brought into force, this amendment has no effect); commencement: reg. 1(2)
- Art. 77(1)(2): word substituted by S.I. 2026/386, Sch. 3, para. 41(3), para. 41(4)(z3)(ii) (NB: conditional amendment: if 2025 c 18, s. 103 is fully brought into force before s. 119 is fully brought into force, this amendment has no effect); commencement: reg. 1(2)
Note: This amendment has no effect: under reg. 1(4) of S.I. 2026/386 it falls away because section 103 of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 was fully brought into force (19 June 2026, S.I. 2026/82, reg. 3(a)) before section 119 (30 September 2026, S.I. 2026/1015, reg. 2).
