§ Mr. LawsonAll building societies are required by law to submit annual returns to the Chief Registrar of Friendly Societies, which include the names and addresses of their directors and their year of birth. In addition, notice pursuant to section 75 of the Building Societies Act 1962 of any change of directors, which includes the date of their appointment, must be given to the central office of the Registry of Friendly Societies, at 17 North Audley Street, London W1, where such notices and returns and other relevant information are available for public inspection.
Particulars of whether directors were initially co-opted on to the board and how many were nominated by ordinary members of the society are not available. It is rare, however, for a director to be appointed initially other than through co-option.
