• (2) The “partnership functions” are the functions specified by the nomination under subsection (1) as covered by it.

• (3) A function may be so specified only if condition A or B is met.

• (4) Condition A is that the function—

• (a) is a relevant function of the primary authority, and

• (b) is, or (in the case of an activity proposed to be carried on) would be, exercisable by that other regulator in relation to the regulated person or a member of the regulated group, and

• (c) is equivalent to a relevant function of the primary authority.

• (6) The Secretary of State may from time to time revise the specification of partnership functions included in a nomination under subsection (1) if—

• (b) in the case of a nomination under subsection (1)(a), the primary authority and the regulated person have agreed in writing to the revision, and

23B

• (1) The Secretary of State may only nominate a qualifying regulator as a direct primary authority if the regulator and the regulated person have agreed in writing to the nomination.

• (b) the regulator and the co-ordinator have agreed in writing to the nomination.

• (3) The Secretary of State may at any time revoke a nomination under section 23A(1).

• (3) The Secretary of State may at any time revoke a nomination under subsection (1).
