Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Order (including any effects on those provisions):
66A.—(1) This Article applies where an occupational pension scheme contains provisions contravening paragraph (2) or (3).
(2) Except so far as regulations otherwise provide, provisions of an occupational pension scheme contravene this paragraph to the extent that they would (apart from this Article) have an effect with respect to—
(a)the entitlement of any person to benefits under the scheme, or
(b)the payment to any person of benefits under the scheme,
which would be different according to whether or not a place outside the United Kingdom is specified by that person as the place to which he requires payments of benefits under the scheme to be made to him.
(3) Except so far as regulations otherwise provide, provisions of an occupational pension scheme contravene this paragraph to the extent that they would (apart from this Article) have an effect with respect to—

(b)the eligibility of any person to remain a person by or in respect of whom contributions are made towards or under the scheme, or
(c)the making by or in respect of any person who is a member of the scheme of any contributions towards or under the scheme,
which would be different according to whether that person works wholly in the United Kingdom or wholly or partly outside the United Kingdom.
