(1) The Bank may decide, after consulting the regulator (within the meaning given by article 139(3)), that a group entity, other than an institution, set up in the United Kingdom should be required to maintain a minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities.
(2) Where the Bank makes a such decision, articles 141 to 145 apply for the purpose of determining and reviewing the requirement and ensuring that the requirement is maintained and met, but have effect for that purpose as if each reference to an institution, except a reference to a non-UK institution, included a reference to the group entity for which the requirement is being (or has been) determined.
