#2026/670UK Order Applies Enterprise Act Disclosure Rules to Motor Fuel Price Open Data
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This Order brings information collected under the Motor Fuel Price Open Data Regulations 2025 within the Enterprise Act’s rules on restricted disclosure. That means public authorities handling fuel price data must treat certain business or personal information as protected information. It mainly affects public bodies and organisations involved in the motor fuel price open data regime. The practical effect is about how information can be shared, not a new reporting duty for fuel retailers. Public authorities may also share protected information where it helps another person carry out relevant legal functions.
