There are multiple references here to the role of local authorities, which traditionally held the register. There is still a lot of detail yet to be established, probably by ministerial order, about how the interaction will work. It appears that local authorities will continue to maintain a register and then provide an update directly to the commission. As a lot of people would have imagined that the commission would have been the central resource of the register, I ask the Minister of State to please clarify how that will work.
