(2) This section applies to a floating charge which is created by a relevant society on or after 6th April 2014 and is either— (a) a charge in respect of which an application under section 59 has been made; or (b) a charge created by a debenture registered under section 9 of the Agricultural Credits Act 1928 as applied by section 14 of that Act. (3) This section applies in spite of any provision of an agreement or instrument which purports to empower a person to appoint an administrative receiver (by whatever name). (4) In this section— “administrative receiver”, in relation to a relevant society, means— a receiver or manager of the whole (or substantially the whole) of the society's property appointed by or on behalf of the holder of a floating charge, or by such a charge and one or more other securities, or a person who would be such a receiver or manager but for the appointment of some other person as the receiver of part of the society's property; “holder of a qualifying floating charge in respect of the property of a relevant society” has the meaning given in paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986 as applied in relation to a relevant society by an order under section 118; “relevant society” means a registered society which is not— a private registered provider of social housing; or registered as a social landlord under Part 1 of the Housing Act 1996 or under Part 2 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010.

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.
