(a) (b)
where those particulars were filed; and
the registration number of that branch.
In the case of the constitutional documents of the company (see paragraph A-12) and its accounting documents (see paragraphs A-14, A-15 and A-18) the company need file copies of those documents in respect of only one branch in the United Kingdom. However, in order to take advantage of this the company, when making returns in respect of the other branches, must state on Page 5 of form BR1:
-
(a) (b)
where those documents were or, in the case of accounting documents, will be filed; and the registration number of that branch.

The addresses of both Registrars are in section D.
