Policy

A key role for the BSA is to represent the interests of building societies to external bodies, such as Government departments and regulators, both in the UK and in Brussels.  As the scope of legislation and regulation grows, the range of policy issues on which we represent building society interests also increases. 

In this Policy section you can find the BSA's views on a wide range of policy issues. 

Industry Responses

As well as proactively campaigning, the BSA frequently comments on consultative papers issued by the Financial Services Authority, and by government departments such as the Treasury or the Department of Trade and Industry. BSA responses to many recent consultations can be found below.
