Prohibition on linking services.

35.—(1) A building society shall not make or offer to make a housing loan to any person subject to a condition that any services to which section 29 , 31 or 32 applies, and which that person may require, whether or not in connection with the loan, shall be provided by or through the society or a subsidiary or other associated body of the society.
