It has been a week since Prime Minister, David Cameron made the historic announcement that the legislation relating to co-operatives will be consolidated into one Act.

In response to the Legislative Reform Order the Co-operative Performance Committee (CPC) of Co-operatives UK has considered the implications for member societies and presents its recommendation here.
It has been widely acknowledged by government and the sector that Industrial and Provident Society legislation, the traditional legal form for co-operatives, and its regulatory framework is in need of modernisation.

This report details the progress that has been made so far.
