Prospective
(1)A section 49 notice imposing a disclosure requirement in respect of any protected information shall not contain a statement for the purposes of section 50(3)(c) unless—
(a)the person who for the purposes of Schedule 2 granted the permission for the giving of the notice in relation to that information, or
(b)any person whose permission for the giving of a such a notice in relation to that information would constitute the appropriate permission under that Schedule,
has given a direction that the requirement can be complied with only by the disclosure of the key itself.
(2)A direction for the purposes of subsection (1) by [F1the police, SOCA, the customs] and excise or a member of Her Majesty’s forces shall not be given—

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
