If you had a club your lead would have been a revoke. With the 2007 laws
your partner is allowed to ask if you do not have any clubs in order to
avoid this revoke to become established, and there will be no problem.

But it is not a fact "from legal play" that you are void in clubs so unless
he asks the information to avoid an established revoke the "fact" that you
are void in clubs is UI to him.

Similarly:

The information that he has a particular card as a penalty card and the
requirements for him to play that card is AI to you as long as the card
remains a penalty card. But once that card ceases to be a penalty card the
information that he actually has this card in his hand is UI to you.
