The Licence register contains the following information in relation to each licence holder:

- date of licence issue

- if the holder is an individual, whether they are in partnership and if so, the name of such partners

The Certificate Register contains:

- whether the certificate has been suspended

The Authority will take all realistic steps to ensure access to the registers at all reasonable times and that you may obtain all or any part of the registers at no more than a reasonable cost.
