Bulletin number eleven from HM Treasury

This is the eleventh bulletin covering developments on the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA).

Interim authorisation

Interim authorisation is available for firms which are currently lawfully carrying on an activity without authorisation and for which they will require authorisation for the first time from N2 (or 1 January 2002 for pre-paid funeral plans).
