New Article 45A in SWNIO 1995 is, for Northern Ireland, the equivalent of section 106A in NRSWA 1991 for England and Wales (see paragraph 453) above). This Article places a duty on the Secretary of State to keep a register of information ("NUAR") relating to apparatus in streets in Northern Ireland.
	Although the legislative requirements to keep a register in England and Wales, and in Northern Ireland, are distinct, the intention is for there to be a single register across all three of these parts of the UK. New Article 45A(5) makes provision to facilitate this.
