(a)a provision of the Compensation Scheme (“the new provision”) re-enacts a provision of the Pension Scheme (“the old provision”) with any modification, and

(2) In a case to which paragraph (1) applies, the provisions of the Pension Scheme, in the form in which they existed immediately before 1st April 2006, shall continue to have effect in relation to such a person.
