the power to publish a statement under section 205 (public censure);

(b)

the power to impose a financial penalty under section 206.

(2)

Accordingly, sections 205 and 206, and so much of this Act as relates to either of those sections, have effect in relation to a requirement imposed by section 355A(2) or (3) as if—

any reference to an authorised person included (so far as would not otherwise be the case) a reference to a company falling within any of paragraphs (a) to (d) of section 355A(1),

(b)

any reference to a relevant requirement included (so far as would not otherwise be the case) a reference to a requirement imposed by section 355A(2) or (3), and

(c)

“the appropriate regulator” had the same meaning as in section 355A.
