(3)The reference in subsection (2) above to the spouse of the settlor does not include—
(a)a person to whom the settlor is not for the time being married but may later marry, or

(4)A settlor shall not be regarded as having an interest in property by virtue of subsection (2) above if and so long as none of that property, and no derived property, can become payable or applicable as mentioned in that subsection except in the event of—
(a)the bankruptcy of some person who is or may become beneficially entitled to the property or any derived property, or
(b)an assignment of or charge on the property or any derived property being made or given by some such person, or
