The annual report of the Registrar of Friendly Societies for 2010 (published on the websites of both my Department and the Companies Registration Office) indicates a total of 1,063 Industrial and Provident Societies on the register. Annual returns in respect of these societies are outstanding in 487 cases. Advance notice of return dates, initial reminders and final reminders have issued to each relevant society from the Registry of Friendly Societies. As I said in reply to the Deputy in relation to a similar question yesterday, I am informed by the Registrar that further enforcement action is now under consideration by the Registry to follow its targeted enforcement campaigns in 2010 and 2011 in relation to Friendly Societies and Trade Unions.
