For a formation 𝔉, a subgroup U of a finite group G is said to be 𝔉-pronormal in G if for each g ∈ G, there exists x ∈ ⟨U, U^g⟩ ^𝔉 such that U^x = U^g. If 𝔉 contains 𝔑, the formation of nilpotent groups, then every 𝔉-pronormal subgroup is pronormal and, in fact, 𝔑-pronormality is just classical pronormality. The main aim of this paper is to study classes of finite soluble groups in which pronormality and 𝔉-pronormality coincide.
