Commentary on Sections Schedule 3: Register of people with significant control Supplementary provisions
551.Paragraph 12 provides that the Secretary of State may make regulations under the negative resolution procedure in relation to the issuing and withdrawing of restrictions notices. In particular, regulations may prescribe the form and content of warning and restrictions notices, and the manner in which they must be given.
552.They may also make provision in respect of the factors constituting a “valid reason” for failure to comply with a notice and what happens to matters pending at the point restrictions are lifted (for example, if a dividend is due to be paid but has not been issued in respect of that interest).
