the way in which such members are carrying on exempt regulated activities.

In this Part—

  • "exempt regulated activities" means regulated activities which may, as a result of this Part, be carried on by members of a profession which is supervised and regulated by a designated professional body without breaching the general prohibition; and

  • "members", in relation to a profession, means persons who are entitled to practise the profession in question and, in practising it, are subject to the rules of the body designated in relation to that profession, whether or not they are members of that body.

The FCA must keep under review the desirability of exercising any of its powers under this Part.

Each designated professional body must co-operate with the FCA, by the sharing of information and in other ways, in order to enable the FCA to perform its functions under this Part.
