5: Meaning of holding company and subsidiary
or “What it means for companies to own or control other companies”
You could also call this:

“This section about what counts as a subsidiary company has been removed from the law”

This part of the Companies Act 1993 used to explain what ‘subsidiary’ means in a broader sense. However, it’s no longer part of the law. The government removed this section on 5 December 2013. If you need to know what ‘subsidiary’ means now, you’ll have to look at other parts of the law or ask a grown-up who knows about business rules.
