Schedule 2, paragraph 13

The appropriate authority may direct the exemption registration authority that, in the interests of national security, specified information or information of a specified description must be excluded from the register. The exemption registration authority must notify the appropriate authority of any information it excludes from the register pursuant to such a direction. The appropriate authority may direct the exemption registration authority that, in the interests of national security, before information of a specified description is included on the register, the information must be referred to the appropriate authority for determination as to whether or not it should be excluded from the register. A determination by the appropriate authority under sub-paragraph (3) to exclude information from the register must be given effect by a direction under sub-paragraph (1). A person may give a notice to the appropriate authority stating that, in the person's opinion, the inclusion of information on the register would be contrary to the interests of national security. A notice under sub-paragraph (5) must specify the information and indicate its apparent nature. A person giving a notice under sub-paragraph (5) must at the same time notify the exemption registration authority. The exemption registration authority must not include information notified under sub-paragraph (5) on the register unless the appropriate authority determines that it may be included. A determination by the appropriate authority to exclude information notified under sub-paragraph (5) from the register must be given effect by a direction under sub-paragraph (1). In relation to an exempt facility that is the subject of a direction or notice given under this paragraph, the requirement in paragraph 4(1)(b), 5(b), 6(b), 7(b) or 8(b)— does not apply where a direction or notice requires the exclusion of all relevant particulars from the register, and is satisfied where— and where any relevant particulars which are not subject to a direction or notice are included on the register. a direction under sub-paragraph (1) requires the exclusion of some, but not all, relevant particulars from the register, a direction under sub-paragraph (3) which is pending a determination under that sub-paragraph requires the exclusion of relevant particulars from the register, or a notice under sub-paragraph (5) which is pending a determination under sub-paragraph (8) requires the exclusion of relevant particulars from the register,
