(b)on 1st April 1993 was living in a home which was exempt from registration under Part I of the Registered Homes Act 1984 pursuant to section 1(4)(a) of that Act (exemption from registration in respect of certain homes) because one or more of the residents were treated as relatives pursuant to section 19(4) of that Act; and
