Parts II and III, Schedule 6 Finance Act 1989 contain
overriding provisions to apply the restrictions/changes described
in 4.15 b-d to all schemes approved prior to 27 July 1989 (when
Royal assent to the Act was given). For schemes approved on or
after that date it is a requirement that their rules comply with
the provisions of the Act before approval can be given.
