Group 4 concerns miscellaneous provisions of the Personal Insolvency Act 2012. There are two amendments, Nos. 8 and 20. Amendment No. 8 inserts a new section 21A in the Personal Insolvency Act 2012 regarding the retention of information by the insolvency service to the effect that, notwithstanding the Data Protection Act 1988, the insolvency service shall retain such information or data obtained by it under this Act as is necessary for the performance of its functions. For example, the Personal Insolvency Act does not permit repeat applications for each debt resolution process. Thus, the insolvency service must be in a position to detect such applications.

Amendment No. 20 corrects a typographical error in the referencing of a subsection in the text of section 91(3) the Personal Insolvency Act 2012.
