EXPLANATORY NOTE.

These regulations restrict access to personal data kept by Ministers or statutory bodies with regulatory functions designed to prevent financial loss to members of the public through (a) dishonesty, incompetence or malpractice on the provision of financial services or the management of companies or (b) the conduct of persons who have been adjudicated bankrupt. The restriction applies only where access to the data would be likely to prejudice the proper performance of those functions.
