(1)The Chamber President of the Property Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal shall prepare and keep up to date a register for the purposes of this Part of this Act and shall make the register available for inspection in such place or places and in such manner as the Lord Chancellor may direct.
(2)The register shall be so prepared and kept up to date as to contain, with regard to any contract relating to a dwelling in England and under which a rent is payable which has been approved, reduced or increased under section 78 of this Act, entries of—
(a)the prescribed particulars with regard to the contract;
(b)a specification of the dwelling to which the contract relates; and
(c)the rent as approved, reduced or increased by the First-tier Tribunal or the Upper Tribunal, and in a case in which the approval, reduction or increase is limited to rent payable in respect of a particular period, a specification of that period.
(3)Where any rates in respect of a dwelling are borne by the lessor or any person having any title superior to that of the lessor, the amount to be entered in the register under this section as the rent payable for the dwelling shall be the same as if the rates were not so borne; but the fact that they are so borne shall be noted in the register.
(4)The amount to be entered in the register under this section as the rent payable for a dwelling shall include any sums payable by the lessee to the lessor in respect of council tax, whether or not those sums are separate from the sums payable for the occupation of the dwelling or are payable under separate agreements.
(5)A copy of an entry in the register certified by a member of staff appointed by the Lord Chancellor and duly authorised by the Chamber President of the Property Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal shall be receivable in evidence in any court and in any proceedings.
(6)A person requiring such a certified copy shall be entitled to obtain it on payment of such fee as may specified by order made by the Lord Chancellor.
(7)The power to make an order under subsection (6) shall be exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.]
