(2) Application to purchase stock under this regulation shall be made by delivering to the Bank an application in the approved form accompanied, except where the Bank otherwise directs, by a sum sufficient to include the purchase price of the stock and the proper amount payable under regulation 3E hereof by way of commission on the purchase.
(3) As soon as practicable after receiving such an application the Bank shall effect the purchase of the stock.

(a)the amount of the deficiency, and
(b)the amount payable under regulation 3E hereof by way of commission on the sale.

(3) Subject to paragraph (4) of this Regulation, as soon as practicable after receiving such an application, the Bank shall effect the sale of the stock.
(4) The Bank may decline to effect a sale under this Regulation unless there is furnished to them such evidence as they may require of the right of the applicant to authorise the sale.
