In addressing the Clause 87 stand part notice, this clause replaces the current national security exemption under the law enforcement regime with a revised version that mirrors the exemptions already available to organisations operating under the UK GDPR and intelligence services regimes. It is essential that competent authorities have access to the full range of exemptions, so that they are properly able to safeguard national security. For instance, if a law enforcement agency is investigating a data subject who it suspects may be involved in an imminent terrorist attack, it is likely to need to share personal data with other agencies at very short notice.
