Statute overview

About this statute

This provision establishes the National Crime Agency, gives the Director General control powers, and sets rules for annual planning, information disclosure, inspections, and related orders and designations. The text limits certain charges, gives powers to disclose information for fee-remission decisions, and creates offences and powers for Supreme Court security officers. This provision makes a wide set of amendments about law-enforcement powers, NCA administration, drug-driving rules, statutory instruments, and commencement. This provision lets the Director General and other authorities make and regulate facility-sharing and related arrangements, but it also requires payment, reporting, consultation, and strict non-disclosure in several cases. This provision creates offences for certain unlawful disclosures of information by NCA officers and others, allows a limited reasonable-belief defence, requires prosecutorial consent in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, and gives the Secretary of State powers over staff and property transfer schemes.
