Section 41 Disclosure of information to service providers
170.This section will allow the Board to pass any information to third parties who are operating under the control of the Board, so that they may provide services to them. For example, it would allow the Board to pass information to an external IT provider who had been contracted to undertake data processing on behalf of the Board, as ONS did during the 2001 census. It is intended that those receiving the information under this section would not be able to use it for any purpose other than the provision of the service they would be providing to the Board.
