Prevention of Fraud (Investments) Act 1958

15 Stock exchanges and associations of dealers in securities

(1) The Board of Trade may by order declare any body of persons carrying on in Great Britain the business of dealing in securities to be a recognised stock exchange or recognised association of dealers in securities for the purposes of this Act.

(2) Any order under this section may be varied or revoked by a subsequent order of the Board of Trade ; but an order by virtue of which any body ceases to be a recognised stock exchange or a recognised association of dealers in securities shall not take effect until the expiration of the period of three months beginning with the day on which the order is made.

(3) It shall be the duty of every recognised stock exchange or recognised association of dealers in securities to furnish to the Board of Trade, so often as may be prescribed (which shall be not less often than once a year) a list showing with respect to each person who, at the date on which the list is furnished, is a member of the stock exchange or of the association, as the case may be, his name and business address and the style under which he carries on business, and, if the member is a corporation, the name of each of the directors thereof; and as soon as may be after receiving any list furnished to them under this subsection, the Board shall cause the list to be published in such manner as they think proper.

(4) It shall be the duty of every recognised stock exchange or recognised association of dealers in securities whenever required by the Board so to do to furnish to the Board, with respect to any specified member of the stock exchange or association, as the case may be, a list of the persons who are for the time being authorised by that member to deal in securities on his behalf.
