132.This section provides a power to provide information from the Register to a person or organisation who has supplied information (including but not restricted to information provided under section 9) to help verify an entry in the Register where information provided appears to be inaccurate or incomplete. For example, where it appears that the organisation that supplied the information has an out of date or inaccurate address held on its records.

Under subsection (2), the Secretary of State may give to someone who has provided incomplete or inaccurate information, information about how it is inaccurate or incomplete and what is in fact recorded. Again, section 21 must be complied with (subsection (3)).

134.Subsection (4) defines what is meant by providing information about an individual for verification purposes.
