PQ 191
218 Deputy Joan Collins asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if his attention has been drawn to the fact that societies registered by the Registrar of Friendly Societies are required by law to file an annual return with the Registry of Friendly Societies no later than 31 March each year and that non-filing of annual returns constitutes an offence under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts; the reason the Registry of Friendly Societies allows industrial and provident societies which consistently offend by failing to submit annual returns for periods of up to five years and more to remain registered; his views on the failure of the Registry of Friendly Societies to enforce the rules of the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts over the past five years, particularly rule 16(e) dealing with annual returns; his further views on whether it is acceptable that societies which consistently fail to submit annual returns for periods of five years and more can remain registered; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
