[F7(1A)The Treasury must by order specify—

(a)the cases in which the FCA may, or may not, make rules under subsection (1), and

(b)the cases in which the PRA may, or may not, make rules under that subsection.]

(2)The rules [F8(taken together)] are to be known as the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (but are referred to in this Act as “the compensation scheme”).

(3)The compensation scheme must, in particular, provide for the scheme manager—

[F9(a)to assess and pay compensation, in accordance with the scheme, to claimants in respect of claims made in connection with—

(i)a regulated activity carried on (whether or not with permission) by relevant persons; and

(ii)a regulated activity relating to a trading facility carried on (whether or not in accordance with any requirements relating to that activity resulting from section 286) by relevant exchanges; and

(a)class of authorised person;

(a)qualified for authorisation under Schedule 3, and

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
