Subject to subsection (3) below, in any case where, by virtue of the said paragraph 8 as amended by subsection (1) above, expenditure which has been or is to be met by a regional development grant is not to be regarded for any of the purposes of Part I of the principal Act as having been incurred by any person, that particular grant shall be regarded as not falling within the reference to a regional development grant in F1section 153(1) of the Capital Allowances Act 1990 (treatment of subsidies etc.).
