HC Deb 03 April 1981 vol 2 cc135-6W
Mr. Weetch

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the proposals for changes in building societies legislation submitted to the Government by the Building Societies Association.

Mr. Lawson

I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to him on 5 February 1981.—[Vol. 998, c. 203.] No further proposals have been received.

Mr. Weetch

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the amendment of the Building Societies Act with a view to improving the position of ordinary members of building societies relating to control over boards of directors in such matters as election procedures and the provision of information.

Mr. Lawson

This consideration will be among those borne in mind when the opportunity for building society legislation of this nature next arises.
