(a) the rent limit for any contractual period of the new regulated tenancy beginning during that period of delay shall be the amount to which, if the first-mentioned tenancy had continued, the rent payable thereunder could have been increased in accordance with this Schedule for a statutory period beginning at the same time, and in relation to such a contractual period the reference in section 43(3)(a) of the Act of 1971 to section 19(2) of that Act shall be construed as a reference to this paragraph ; and

(b) in relation to any statutory period of the new tenancy beginning during that period of delay the provisions of this Schedule shall have effect as if it were a statutory period of the first mentioned tenancy.
