Paragraph 23 Identifying persons who have information
The Governor may make regulations requiring persons of any description specified in the regulations to inform him that they are of such a description.
Any such description must be so framed that persons within it are persons on whom the Governor is likely to want to serve a notice under section 22.
If regulations are made under this section the Governor shall arrange for a statement of the fact that they have been made to be published in such manner as is likely to bring them to the attention of persons affected by them.
A person who without reasonable excuse fails to comply with a requirement imposed by the regulations is guilty of an offence and liable—
on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding £5,000 or its equivalent;
on conviction on indictment, to a fine.
A person who knowingly makes a false or misleading statement in response to a requirement imposed by the regulations is guilty of an offence and liable—
on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding £5,000 or its equivalent;
on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to a fine or to both.
