213 How many statutory registers are there and what are they called? 115

registers or is there an obligation to seek it out? 116
216 Are there any requirements concerning where the statutory
registers must be kept? 117
217 Do nearly all companies strictly follow the rules about
the location of the statutory registers? 118
218 What are the rules about inspection of the registers? 118
219 What are the rules about the requirement to provide
copies of the registers? 120

Register of directors’ interests in shares and debentures 125
228 What is the purpose of the register of directors’ interests
in shares and debentures? 125
229 Surely the register of directors’ interests in shares and
debentures is unnecessary. Why can’t the information be
obtained from the register of members? 125
230 I note that the obligations extend to shares and debentures
(and options to acquire shares and debentures) held by
spouses. What about partners? 126
231 There must be some rules about writing up the register of
directors’ interests in shares and debentures. What are they? 126
232 Is there anything else that I should know about the register
of directors’ interests in shares and debentures?
