(b) of R’s home address and of any changes to it.

(2) If the Registrar—

(i) changed the name under which R practises,

(ii) ceased to practise as a pharmacist or, as the case may be, a pharmacy technician and intends to apply under article 31 for voluntary removal from the Register, or

(iii) changed home address,

and receives no reply within a period of one month beginning on the day of posting the notice; and

(b) upon the expiration of that period sends to R a second similar notice and receives no reply within one month beginning on the day of posting the notice,

the Registrar may remove R’s entry from Part 1 or, as the case may be, Part 2 of the Register.

(3) If a registrant entered in Part 1 or 2 of the Register fails to comply with rules made under paragraph (1), the Registrar may remove the entry of that registrant from that part of the Register.

(4) Where the Registrar removes the entry of a person from a part of the Register pursuant to paragraph (2) or (3), the Registrar must send to that person at that person’s last known home address a statement in writing giving that person notice of the removal and the reasons for it and of the right of appeal to the Appeals Committee under article 40.
