(4) The appropriate regulator must be given the same notice as the creditors of any meeting of creditors held in relation to the trust deed. (5) A person appointed for the purpose by the appropriate regulator is entitled to attend and participate in (but not to vote at) any such meeting of creditors as if that regulator were a creditor under the deed. (6) This section does not affect any right a regulator has as a creditor of a debtor who is an authorised person or recognised investment exchange. (6A) "The appropriate regulator” means— (a) in the case of a PRA-authorised person— (i) for the purposes of subsections (2) ... and (4), each of the FCA and the PRA, and (ii) for the purposes of subsection (5), the FCA or the PRA; (b) in any other case, the FCA. (7) Expressions used in this section and in the 2016 Act have the same meaning in this section as in that Act.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
