Finance Act 1989

11 (1) This paragraph applies as regards arrangements made by a member of a personal pension scheme approved by the Board before the day on which this Act is passed, if the arrangements are made by the member in accordance with the scheme on or after that day.

(2) The rules of the scheme shall have effect (notwithstanding anything in them to the contrary) as if any limitation imposed on the maximum amount payable to the member by way of lump sum, and imposed by reference to a fraction of the total value of the benefits for him provided for by the arrangements, were imposed by reference to the same fraction of the difference between—

(a) the total value, at the time when the lump sum is paid, of the benefits provided for by the arrangements, and

(b) the value, at that time, of such of his rights under the scheme as are protected rights for the purposes of the [1986 c. 50.] Social Security Act 1986 or the [S.I. 1986/1888 (N.I. 18).] Social Security (Northern Ireland) Order 1986.
