(c) one individual nominated by the FCA, and
(d) one individual nominated by the FSCS.
(3) The bank liquidator must report to the liquidation committee about any matter—
(a) on request, or
(b) which the bank liquidator thinks is likely to be of interest to the liquidation committee.
(4) In particular, the bank liquidator—
(a) must keep the liquidation committee informed of progress towards Objective 1 in section 99, and
(b) must notify the liquidation committee when in the bank liquidator's opinion Objective 1 in section 99 has been achieved entirely or so far as is reasonably practicable.
(5) As soon as is reasonably practicable after receiving notice under subsection (4)(b) the liquidation committee must either—
(a) resolve that Objective 1 in section 99 has been achieved entirely or so far as is reasonably practicable (a “full payment resolution”), or

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.
Sign in to file your proposal. What you have written stays on this page.
Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
