HL Deb 31 July 1961 vol 234 cc45-6

1. In this Schedule 'special-range property' means property falling within subsection (3) of section three of this Act.

2.—(1) Where a trust fund includes special-range property, subsection (1) of section two of this Act shall have effect as if references to the trust fund were references to so much thereof as does not consist of special-range property, and the special-range property shall be carried to a separate part of the fund.

(2) Any property which—

  1. (a) being property belonging to the narrower-range or wider-range part of a trust fund, is converted into special-range property, or
  2. (b) being special-range property, accrues to a trust fund after the division of the fund or part thereof in pursuance of subsection (1) of section two of this Act or of that subsection as modified by subparagraph (1) of this paragraph,
shall be carried to such a separate part of the fund as aforesaid: and subsections (2) and (3) of the said section two shall have effect subject to this sub-paragraph.

3. Where property carried to such a separate part as aforesaid is converted into property other than special-range property,

  1. (a) it shall be transferred to the narrower-range part of the fund or the wider-range part of the fund as apportioned between them, and
  2. (b) any transfer of property from one of those parts to the other shall be made which is necessary to secure that the value of each of those parts of the fund is increased by the same amount.")

After the First Schedule, insert the following new Schedule—

("PROVISIONS SUPPLEMENTARY TO S. 3 (4)

1. Where in a case falling within subsection (4) of section three of this Act, property belonging to the narrower-range part of a trust fund—

  1. (a) is invested otherwise than in a narrower-range investment, or
  2. (b) being so invested, is retained and not transferred or as soon as may be reinvested as mentioned in subsection (2) of section two of this Act,
then, so long as the property continues so invested and comprised in the narrower-range part of the fund, section one of the Act shall not authorise the making or retention of any wider-range investment.

2. Section four of the Trustee Act, 1925, or section thirty-three of the Trusts (Scotland) Act, 1921 (which relieve a trustee from liability for retaining an investment which has ceased to be authorised), shall not apply where an investment ceases to be authorised in consequence of the foregoing paragraph.")
