Every local housing authority must establish and maintain a register of—
The register may, subject to any requirements that may be prescribed, be in such form as the authority consider appropriate.
Each entry in the register is to contain such particulars as may be prescribed.
The authority must ensure that the contents of the register are available at the authority's head office for inspection by members of the public at all reasonable times.
If requested by a person to do so and subject to payment of such reasonable fee (if any) as the authority may determine, a local housing authority must supply the person with a copy (certified to be true) of the register or of an extract from it.
A copy so certified is prima facie evidence of the matters mentioned in it.
In this section "prescribed" means prescribed by regulations made by the appropriate national authority.
