## EXPLANATORY NOTE 

(This note is not part of the Order) 

Section 105 of the Utilities Act 2000 imposes a general restriction on the disclosure of certain information, subject to a number of specified exemptions. This Order amends that provision to allow for a disclosure which is: 

a) a protected disclosure for the purposes of the Employment Rights Act 1996; or 

b) for the purposes of civil proceedings brought in reliance on section 47B (protected disclosure – protection from detriment) or 103A (protected disclosure – protection from unfair dismissal) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. 

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
