(b) that individual otherwise consents to the provision of that information to that person.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, the Commission may, without a registered individual's consent provide another person with information recorded in the individual's entry in the Database if the provision of the information is authorised by this section.
(3) The provision of information is authorised by this section where such disclosure is-
