BSOG 3.6 Confirmation

Scope of the Prudential Regulator's Powers1

BSOG 3.6.7AG

1However, the FCA does have power, on the written application of certain members, to direct that the member has the right to obtain names and addresses from the society's register of members. Before it gives such a direction, the FCA is required to be satisfied that the member requires that right for the purpose of communicating with other members of the society on a subject relating to its affairs, and must have regard to the interests of the members as a whole and to all the other circumstances (paragraph 15 of Schedule 2 to the 1986 Act). A fee is payable by the applicant. Chapter 1A of this Guide gives guidance on applications for access to the register of members.

The Prudential Regulator's decision1

BSOG 3.6.33G

The Prudential Regulator1 will not give an oral decision at the end of the hearing, and will1 reserve its decision to be issued later in writing, setting out its reasons.
