The Mutuals’ Redeemable & Deferred Shares Bill will be read for the second time in the House of Lords on 24th October 2014.
The Bill was introduced by Lord Naseby in the House of Lords and was read for the first time on 5th June 2014. We are seeking Government support to allow time for the Bill to progress through both Houses.
The Bill will:
