(a) on 6th April 2006 the pension scheme holds an interest in taxable property which it acquired before that date, and

(b) immediately before that date the pension scheme was not prohibited from holding the interest in the property,

and, in a case where immediately before that date the interest in the property was held directly by a person other than the pension scheme, if the pension scheme was not prohibited from holding the interest it held in that person at that time.

(2) This paragraph also applies in relation to an investment-regulated pension scheme if—

(c) the property is taxable property on that date, and

(d) immediately before that date the pension scheme would not have been prohibited from holding the interest in the property,

and, in a case where the contract to acquire the interest in the property was entered into by a person in whom the pension scheme directly or indirectly held an interest, if the pension scheme was not prohibited from holding the interest it held in that person immediately before that date.
