2.—(1) Where, by virtue of subsection (1) of section 48A of the Pension Schemes Act, section 44(6) of the Contributions and Benefits Act has effect for the tax year 1997-98 or any later tax year, in relation to some but not all of the earnings of an earner, the application of section 44(5) of the Contributions and Benefits Act is modified for that year in accordance with this regulation.
