This Order amends Schedule 1 to the Trustee Investments Act 1961 in two respects. Following the coming into force in relation to Liechtenstein of the European Economic Area Agreement, it adds Leichtenstein to the list of relevant states in Part IV of Schedule 1, thus extending the range of securities set out in Parts II and III. It also makes a minor amendment to the definition of a gilt unit trust scheme in Part II of Schedule 1.

Paragraph 10A was amended by S.I. 1994/1908.
