The wording we hold for 13E035 · how the whole register is watched
This was filed with the regulator 4,836 days ago and the register carries no date for the letter to owners. At that distance the blank is far more likely to be a gap in the record than a letter never posted, so it is counted apart from the recent ones: every notice still without one.
