(1)This section applies to—
(a)any agreement for the constitution of a recognised professional body to the extent to which it relates to the rules or guidance of that body relating to the carrying on of investment business by persons certified by it (“investment business rules”); and
(b)any other agreement, the parties to which consist of or include—
(i)a recognised professional body,
(ii)a person certified by such a body, or

(b)that the effect of restricting, distorting or preventing competition which the provisions in question do have, or are intended or are likely to have, is not greater than is necessary for the protection of investors,
the Treasury may make a declaration to that effect.
(3)If the Treasury make a declaration under this section, the Chapter I prohibition does not apply to the agreement to the extent to which the agreement consists of provisions to which the declaration relates.

(5)If the Treasury make, vary or revoke a declaration under this section they must notify the Director of their decision.

(i)as he considers will assist the Treasury to decide whether to exercise their powers under this section; or
(ii)as the Treasury may request.
(7)The Director may not exercise his Chapter III powers in respect of any provisions of an agreement to which this section applies, unless the Treasury—
(a)have notified him that they have not made a declaration in respect of those provisions under this section and that they do not intend to make such a declaration; or
(b)have revoked a declaration under this section and a period of six months beginning with the date on which the revocation took effect has expired.
