Building Societies Act 1965

Preliminary

4: Deputy Registrars of Building Societies

You could also call this:

“Who can help the main Registrar manage building societies”

The government can appoint one or more Deputy Registrars of Building Societies. These Deputy Registrars are chosen according to the Public Service Act 2020.

Deputy Registrars can do the same things as the main Registrar when it comes to building societies. They have the same powers and responsibilities, but they still have to follow what the main Registrar says.

If a Deputy Registrar does something that the Registrar would usually do, you can be sure they’re allowed to do it. You don’t need to question whether they have the right to act like the Registrar.
