Register records
Each row is one register record with its own identifier; records are not combined. Relationships are stated only where a register links the records, and are otherwise labelled as unlinked or unverified. REPD dates are the record's update date and the date of the status event where one is recorded. The NESO files give no status date; the date shown is the MW effective-from date.
