Mr. Dean

I beg to move Amendment No. 54, in page 65, line 21, at end insert: '(8) Where by any provision in this Part of this Act recognition of a scheme in relation to an employment depends on the satisfaction of a particular condition, continued recognition of the scheme shall be dependent on continued satisfaction of the condition; and if the condition ceases to be satisfied, that shall be a ground (without prejudice to any other) for cancellation of the recognition certificate. (9) Regulations may, for any purpose of this Part of this Act, prescribe the persons who are to be regarded as members or prospective members of an occupational pension scheme and as to the times at which, and the circumstances in which, a person is to be treated as becoming, or as ceasing to be. a member or prospective member'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Miss Harvie Anderson)

With it, I understand, it will be convenient to discuss Amendments Nos. 76 and 77.

Mr. Dean

This is technical drafting amendment.

Amendment agreed to.
