Disclosure of information
136Disclosure of information: supplementary provision
(1)
A disclosure of information which is authorised by section 135 does not breach—
(a)
an obligation of confidence owed by the person making the disclosure, or
(b)
any other restriction on the disclosure of information (however imposed).
(2)
But nothing in section 135 authorises either of the following—
(a)
the making of a disclosure which would contravene the data protection legislation (but in determining whether a disclosure would do so, the power conferred by that section is to be taken into account);
(b)
the making of a disclosure which is prohibited by any of Parts 1 to 7 or Chapter 1 of Part 9 of the Investigatory Powers Act 2016.
(3)
In subsection (2) “the data protection legislation” has the same meaning as in the Data Protection Act 2018 (see section 3 of that Act).
(4)
Section 135 does not limit the circumstances in which information may be disclosed apart from that section.
