If I understand your question correctly, you're asking whether or not 'dealing with information' potentially attracts these particular provisions. If that's your question, the answer is yes. But looking at one section in isolation doesn't in any way go to whether there's a potential offence. As with the other provisions we've discussed, such as sabotage, in each case there are a series of things that need to be made out. If I understand your question correctly, and you want to lay it as a baseline for further questions, then I think the answer is yes.
