Commencement
19.The provisions of the Act (including the amendments made to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000) came into force on the day after it received Royal Assent.
20.The new provisions will not apply to any regulatory provision which has been made by a UK recognised body at the time the legislation comes into force. Where a recognised body has proposed but not made any changes to its regulatory provision at that time, the new provisions will apply to the proposals and the new procedures will apply.
