meets the criteria for removal from the register established under section 61,
the Scottish Ministers may, after giving the body at least 14 days' notice, remove it from the register.

In the case of a body which appears to the Scottish Ministers to have ceased to exist, or not to operate, notice under subsection (2) is deemed to be given to the body if it is served at the address last known to the Scottish Ministers to be the principal place of business of the body.
