“(2) This Part of this Schedule shall apply separately to any securities which are plan investments under a plan within the meaning of the Personal Equity Plan Regulations 1989 and, while applying separately to any such securities, this Part of this Schedule shall have effect as if the plan investor held them in a capacity other than that in which he holds any other securities of the same class whether under another plan or otherwise.”
