Part 4: Foreign Activities and Foreign Influence Registration Scheme Schedule 13: Control of a person by a foreign power
This Schedule is introduced by subsection (3) of section 66. Part 1 of the Schedule provides the circumstances in which a person is controlled by a foreign power, and may therefore be specified by the Secretary of State.
	Paragraph 1 sets out that a person (which cannot be an individual – see section 66(2)(a)) is controlled by a foreign power if one of five conditions is met.
	Conditions 1 to 4 are provided by sub-paragraphs (1) to (4), and are: (1) the foreign power has the right to direct or control, or actually directs or controls the person’s activities (in whole or in part); (2) the foreign power directly or indirectly holds more than 25% of the shares in the person; (3) the foreign power directly or indirectly holds more than 25% of the voting rights in the person; or (4) the foreign power directly or indirectly has the right to appoint or remove an officer of the person.
	Condition 5 (provided by sub-paragraph (6)) makes provision for the circumstances in which an entity that is not a legal person, whether a trust, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity, is taken to be controlled by a foreign power. The person is subject to such control if: (a) the trustees (in the case of a trust) or the members (in the case of other types of entities) meet one of Conditions 1 to 4; or (b) if the foreign power has the right to direct or control the activities of the trust or entity, or actually does direct or control the activities.
	Paragraph 2 defines an ‘officer’ for the purposes of Schedule 13. It defines an officer: (a) in relation to a body corporate, as a director, member of the committee of management, chief executive, manager, secretary or other similar officer of the body, or a person purporting to act in any such capacity; (b) in relation to a partnership, as a partner or person purporting to act as a partner; (c) in relation to an unincorporated association other than a partnership, as a person who is concerned in the management or control of the association or purports to act in the capacity of a person so concerned.
	Part 2 of this Schedule covers how Part 1 should be interpreted and gives further details on conditions 1-4.
	Part 3 provides the Secretary of State with a power to amend Schedule 13 for certain permitted purposes.
