(b) providing for the notification to the Registrar, by the person to whom any registered particular relates, or any change in those particulars ;

(4) The Registrar shall-

(b) make, from time to time, any necessary alteration to the registered particulars of registered persons ;
(c) remove, from the register, the name of any registered person who has died ; and
(d) record the names of members of the Institute who are in default for more than six months in the payment of annual subscriptions, and take such action in relation to those members (including removal of the names of defaulters from the register) as the Council may direct or require.
(5) If the Registrar-
(a) sends by post to any registered person a registered letter addressed to him at his address on the register enquiring whether the registered particulars relating to him are correct and receives no reply to the letter within a period of six months from the date of posting it ; and
(b) upon the expiration of that period, sends in like manner to the person in question a second similar letter and receives no reply to that letter within three months from the date of posting it, the Registrar may remove the particulars relating to the person in question from the register, but the Council may direct the Registrar to restore to the appropriate part of the register any particular removed therefrom under this subsection.
