(2) In the application of section 24(1) to a relevant scheme, treat the provisions of the scheme relating to defined benefits and the provisions of the scheme relating to money purchase benefits as if they provided for benefits under separate schemes and determine which requirements are to apply to the scheme in accordance with paragraphs (3) and (4).

(a)it is irrelevant whether the other paragraph’s requirements are satisfied, and

(b)there is no need to take the second step.
