(2) The Registrar shall cause to be published from time to time in such manner as he sees fit lists comprising information in or derived from entries in the Society’s registers, but the lists published in accordance with this paragraph shall not include information in or derived from entries in respect of a person whose registration, at the time of publication, is suspended.

(a)a note specifying in which part of the Society’s registers a person is registered;

(b)a person’s registration number;

(c)the area (by reference to a city, town or district) in which a person lives and contact details, but a person’s home address shall not be published without his consent;

(a)for the purposes of articles 33 to 35, 37 and 39 and Part 5 (and rules under or that relate to those provisions); and

(b)in such circumstances or for such other purposes as the Council may prescribe,

if a person’s registration in one of the Society’s registers is suspended, he shall be treated as not being registered in it, notwithstanding that his name still appears in it.
