117.This paragraph sets out the circumstances under which information (obtained for a data matching exercise and the result of any such exercise) may be disclosed by or on behalf of a Minister– see sub-paragraph (2). These circumstances are different to those under which disclosures can be made in relation to the rest of the Act (see sub-paragraph (9), and section 36 and Schedule 11). Sub-paragraph (7) places restrictions on the further disclosure of information disclosed under sub- paragraphs (2) and (3). Sub-paragraph (8) creates an offence of disclosing information (except as authorised by sub-paragraphs (2), (3) and (6)) and sets out the penalty. Those committing the offence are liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale. Paragraph 4(9) provides that if section 85(1) of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 comes into force on or before the day on which the Act is passed, this will remove the limit on the fine on conviction. This provision is of no effect because that section did not come into force before the Act was passed on [30th January 2014]. Section 85 will nevertheless apply to this offence when that section comes into force.
