Schedule 2, Part 1, paragraph 13

A disclosure order does not confer the right to require a person— except that a lawyer may be required to provide the name and address of a client. to answer any privileged question, to provide any privileged information, or to produce any privileged document or other material, For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)— a privileged question is a question which the person would be entitled to refuse to answer on grounds of legal professional privilege in proceedings in the High Court; privileged information is any information which the person would be entitled to refuse to provide on grounds of legal professional privilege in proceedings in the High Court; a privileged document or other material is any document or material which the person would be entitled to refuse to produce on grounds of legal professional privilege in proceedings in the High Court. A disclosure order does not confer the right to require a person to produce excluded material. A disclosure order has effect in spite of any restriction on the disclosure of information (however imposed). An appropriate officer may take copies of any documents produced in compliance with a requirement to produce them imposed under a disclosure order. The documents may be retained for so long as it is necessary to retain them (as opposed to a copy of them) in connection with the terrorist financing investigation for the purposes of which the order was made. But if an appropriate officer has reasonable grounds for believing that— they may be retained until the proceedings are concluded. the documents may need to be produced for the purposes of any legal proceedings, and they might otherwise be unavailable for those purposes, An appropriate officer may retain documents under sub-paragraph (7) only if the officer is a senior police officer or is authorised to do so by a senior police officer.
