Health and Safety at Work Act 2015

Schedule 4: Provisions relating to classified security information

You could also call this:

“Rules about secret government information that are no longer part of the law”

The schedule ‘Provisions relating to classified security information’ in the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 has been repealed. This means that all the rules and procedures it used to contain are no longer in effect.

The schedule used to have 14 sections covering different aspects of dealing with classified security information. These included things like how courts should handle this type of information, the role of special advocates, and how to protect this information during legal proceedings.

As of 28 November 2023, all of these provisions have been removed from the law. This change was made by the Security Information in Proceedings (Repeals and Amendments) Act 2022. If you need information about how classified security information is now handled, you would need to look at more recent laws or guidelines.
