All
I should have replied - spoke to OIC and they advised:
"Schedule 2 5(b) and Schedule 3 7(b) states that you may disclose under any
enactments and legally we are obliged to register our details on the
Electoral Roll (please note that is the correct spelling of Roll - not
"Role") as well as complying with the Disability Discrimination
Act...Basically, I still have my doubts but OIC has spoken....
