The trustees may by direction increase the amounts set by resolution under section 4 in respect of a specified financial year by the percentage applied for the purposes of Part I of the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 in respect of that financial year.

The trustees may by direction suspend deductions under section 4 while they believe that the Fund has sufficient assets to meet demands on it.

When a suspension is lifted, deductions resume (but without adjustment to recover amounts not collected during the suspension).
