Commentary on Sections Part 2 - Register of Visitor Accommodation Providers Section 8 – Power to register persons where no application has been made to WRA
32.This section gives WRA the power to register a person that has not made an application if WRA considers that person is a VAP or was a VAP at any time in the preceding 14 days.
33.Before WRA registers a person, it must issue a notice setting out the information that will be included on the register and specifying any information WRA does not have or considers to be inaccurate. The notice must inform the person that WRA will register the person on the date specified in the notice, which must be at least 14 days after the notice is issued, unless the person registers themselves, or WRA are satisfied that registration is not necessary. Information about rights of review and appeal must also be set out in this notice.
34.A person will not be treated as registered for the purposes of this section until that a person provides any information to WRA to ensure their entry is complete and accurate or confirms the entry made by WRA is complete and accurate, or applies to be removed from the register.
