CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES

COMMUNITY BENEFIT SOCIETIES

CREDIT UNIONS

These Regulations repeal section 48 of the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1965 (c.12) (“1965 Act”) which gave the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) power to require a co-operative or community benefit society (“society”) to produce documents and provide it with information. In place of section 48, the Regulations provide the FCA with certain of the powers of the Secretary of State under Part 14 of Companies Act 1985 (c.6) (“the 1985 Act”) and apply related provisions of Part 14 with modifications. Section 48 and these Regulations also apply to credit unions which are registered under the 1965 Act, see sections 1 and 31(3) of the Credit Unions Act 1979 (c.34).
