“occupational pension scheme” and “personal pension scheme” have the meanings given by section 1 of the Pension Schemes Act;

“stakeholder pension scheme” shall be construed in accordance with Article 3.
(2) The Department may by regulations make provision for a stakeholder pension scheme which—
(a)is of a prescribed description, and
(b)would (apart from the regulations) be an occupational pension scheme,
to be treated for all purposes, or for such purposes as may be prescribed, as if it were a personal pension scheme and not an occupational pension scheme.
(3) This Part applies to a pension scheme managed by or on behalf of the Crown as it applies to other pension schemes; and, accordingly, references in this Part to a person in his capacity as a trustee or manager of, or person prescribed in relation to, a pension scheme include the Crown, or a person acting on behalf of the Crown, in that capacity.
