Commentary Section 2: Re-naming of 1965 Act, the “Industrial and Provident Societies Acts
18.Section 2 provides that the Acts listed in it may be cited by new short titles. The Industrial and Provident Societies Acts 1965, 1967 and 2002 are re-named the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies and Credit Unions Acts 1965, 1967 and 2002 because they apply to credit unions. The Industrial and Provident Societies Acts 1975 and 1978 (which have no application to credit unions) are re-named the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Acts 1975 and 1978. The Friendly and Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1968, which has not applied to friendly societies since amendments made in 1974, is re-named the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies and Credit Unions Act 1968.
