A law enforcement agency may disclose a spent conviction as part of the disclosure of the criminal record of a person, or information contained in the criminal record of a person, to a person or body that is authorised to perform a licensing or registration function (however described) under any Act if—
the person or body is obtaining the criminal record, or information contained in the criminal record, in the performance of the licensing or registration function under that Act; and
in relation to that function, a person or entity is automatically disqualified or ineligible for the licence or registration (however described) if the person, or an officer of the person or entity, is convicted or found guilty of an offence in relation to which a conviction may be spent under the Act.
