(a) the relevant individual brings into use for the purposes of his provision of foster care such of the plant or machinery on which the unrelieved qualifying expenditure was incurred as he still owns on that day, and

(b) he owns that plant or machinery as a result of having incurred capital expenditure on its provision for purposes other than those of the provision of foster care.

(4) In this paragraph “relevant pool” means a pool containing expenditure incurred on the provision of plant or machinery wholly or partly for the purposes of the provision of foster care by the relevant individual.
