Powers to gather information
165CF1Orders under section 165A(2)(d)
1
The Treasury may make an order under section 165A(2)(d) only if they consider that—
a
the activities carried on by the prescribed person or persons of the prescribed description, or the way in which those activities (or any part of them) are carried on, or
b
any failure to carry on those activities (or any part of them),
pose, or would be likely to pose, a serious threat to the stability of the UK financial system.
2
Subject as follows, an order under section 165A(2)(d) may not be made unless a draft of the order has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament.
3
Subsection (2) does not apply in any case where the Treasury are satisfied that it is necessary to make an order under section 165A(2)(d) without laying a draft for approval.
4
In that case, the order—
a
must be laid before Parliament after being made; and
b
ceases to have effect at the end of the relevant period unless before the end of that period it is approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.
5
If an order ceases to have effect as a result of subsection (4)(b) that does not affect—
a
anything done under it; or
b
the power to make a new one.
6
“Relevant period” means a period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the order is made.
7
In calculating the relevant period no account is to be taken of any time during which Parliament is dissolved or prorogued or during which both Houses are adjourned for more than four days.
8
If a statutory instrument containing an order under section 165A(2)(d) would, apart from this subsection, be treated as a hybrid instrument for the purposes of the Standing Orders of either House of Parliament, it is to proceed in that House as if it were not a hybrid instrument.
