§ Mr. Weetchasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will introduce regulations to ensure that all candidates or their representatives for building society elections to boards of directors may be present to supervise the counting of votes.
§ Mr. Bruce-GardyneNo. Under present legislation this is a matter for the rules of the society, not for regulation. If the hon. Member is aware of any particular case where a problem has arisen, perhaps he would let the Registry of Friendly Societies know.
