The Financial Services Authority today announced that it confirmed on 23 December the proposed transfer of the engagements of the Barnsley Building Society to the Yorkshire Building Society.
Copies of the FSA's written decision are available on the FSA website.
The document sets out the reasons for the FSA's decision. Two written representations and one notice of intention to make oral representations only, were received by the FSA. One person made oral representations at a Hearing held in Barnsley on 15 December 2008. Copies of the decision will be sent to each society and to those who made representations.
