11C.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), the prohibition in regulation 11A(2)(a) does not apply in relation to advice or a service given to a member of a specified scheme where—
(a)the service provider; and
(b)the trustees or managers of the specified scheme,
have received a copy of an agreement for the provision of that advice or service made between the member and an adviser, provided the conditions in paragraph (2) are satisfied.
(2) The conditions referred to in paragraph (1) are that the agreement must—
(a)be in writing;
(b)include a description of the advice or service that will be provided to the member;
(c)state that entering into the agreement is not a condition of becoming or remaining a member of a specified scheme;

(e)be entered into before the charges are imposed.
(3) Where the charge limits apply to a member and the trustees or managers are of the opinion that charges imposed under an agreement under this regulation would be likely to place the trustees or managers in breach of those limits in relation to that member, they may inform—
(a)the member;
(b)the adviser; and
(c)the service provider,
within 1 month beginning with the date on which they receive a copy of the agreement under this regulation, that they require that a member agreement for [F3advice or] services under regulation 9 is entered into by the member before the agreement under this regulation can take effect.
(4) Where the trustees or managers are of the opinion that the value of the member’s rights in the scheme is not, or will not be, sufficient to pay the amount specified in an agreement under this regulation, the agreement does not take effect if the trustees or managers inform—
(a)the member;
(b)the adviser; and
(c)the service provider,
of their opinion within 1 month beginning with the date on which they receive a copy of the agreement.]]

They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
- Why the government is proposing to intervene;
- The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
- How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
- The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
