The records shall be kept up to date and shall be kept in such form and manner as may be prescribed.

I23

An undertaker shall make his records available for inspection, at all reasonable hours and free of charge, by any person having authority to execute works of any description in the street or otherwise appearing to the undertaker to have a sufficient interest.
