(a)the second condition in section 1 is treated as met in relation to the service (so that the service becomes “remediable service”), and

(c)is irrevocable.
(4)In subsection (3) “the end of the election period” means—

(b)such later time as the scheme manager considers reasonable in all the circumstances.
(5)Scheme regulations made by virtue of subsection (1) may, in particular, include provision—
(a)under which an election may be made in relation to a person’s relevant opted-out service only on the making of an application by or on behalf of the person;

(c)requiring information to be provided before an election is made;
(d)about the form and manner in which an election is to be made;

(6)The conditions that may be specified by virtue of subsection (5)(b) include in particular—

(b)a condition requiring—
(i)the transfer to the scheme of any assets and liabilities held for the purposes of a partnership pension account that are referable to pension contributions made by or on behalf of the person in respect of the person’s relevant opted-out service, and
(ii)the surrender of any entitlement to a pension under the scheme, and any right to a future pension under the scheme, that would otherwise arise under the rules of the scheme in respect of the value of the assets and liabilities transferred;
(c)in cases in which any assets and liabilities that are referable to pension contributions made by or on behalf of the person have been transferred out of a partnership pension account, a condition requiring the payment to the scheme of an amount in respect of the transfer.
(7)For the purposes of this section a person’s opted-out service is “relevant” in relation to a Chapter 1 legacy scheme if the scheme is the relevant Chapter 1 legacy scheme (within the meaning given by section 4) in relation to that service (reading any reference in that provision to remediable service as a reference to opted-out service).
