The regulations may make provision for the onward disclosure of information that has been disclosed by virtue of section 3 or 4.

But subsection (3) applies in the case of information disclosed in accordance with provision to which the appropriate Minister has consented under section 4(5).

The regulations may make provision for the onward disclosure of the information only if the appropriate Minister (within the meaning of section 4) has consented to the provision for onward disclosure.

The regulations may include provision creating criminal offences in connection with the onward disclosure of information that relates to a particular person.

If the regulations create a criminal offence relating to the onward disclosure of information, provision made for any penalty of imprisonment on conviction on indictment may not specify a term of imprisonment exceeding two years (whether or not accompanied by a fine).
