(3) The persons specified for the purposes of subsection (1) are—
 * (a) the Monetary Authority; and
 * (b) any relevant insolvency office-holder acting in relation to the defaulting participant to whom the report relates or that defaulting participant’s estate or, if there is no such relevant insolvency office-holder, the defaulting participant to whom the report relates.

(4) Where the Monetary Authority receives pursuant to subsection (1) a default proceedings report he may publish notice of that fact in such manner as he considers appropriate to bring it to the attention of creditors of the defaulting participant to whom the report relates.

(5) A relevant insolvency office-holder or defaulting participant who has received pursuant to subsection (1) a default proceedings report, shall, if so requested by a creditor of the defaulting participant to whom the report relates—
 * (a) make the report (or a copy of it) available for inspection by the creditor; and
 * (b) supply to the creditor all or any part of that report (or a copy of it), subject to receipt of payment of such reasonable fee as the relevant insolvency office-holder or defaulting participant (as the case may be) determines.
