On behalf of Scotland's largest health authority, I am investigating
the possible impact of the DPA on epidemiological and historical
research.  In particular, I am looking at use of records created
before the DPA passed into law.

Blackstone' guide to the DPA states that "Section 30 gives power
to the Secretary of State to make provisions for exemption from the
subject information provisions ...  Regulations are expected  ..."

I should be grateful if anyone can tell me: have such regulations
been promulgated?  If so, where can I locate the text?

Yours faithfully,
