According to Nominet, [nominet.org.uk] from October 1st it will expand WHOIS info to include:
Registrant name.
Address details for registrants that have been classified as businesses.
The date on which the domain name is due for renewal.
The name and web address of the registration agent.

It will not have address details for non-trading individuals.

In December it will expand further to include the address fields for all domain names as they are registered or renewed (with some restrictions).

It is worth checking all of the details, including the opt-outs.

This will help bring this into line with other registrars, although, I can imagine that there may be many webmasters and site owners that would prefer to remain cloaked.

So that means all open for Google to check Domain Whois on Co.uk too.

Well it's just to start changing names on all domains registered now.
