(1)No amount may be paid out of the assets of a trust scheme for the purpose of reimbursing, or providing for the reimbursement of, any trustee of the scheme in respect of—
(a)a fine imposed by way of penalty for an offence of which he is convicted, or
(b)a penalty which he is required to pay under section 10 or under section 168(4) of the [1993 c. 48.] Pension Schemes Act 1993.
(2)For the purposes of subsection (1), providing for the reimbursement of a trustee in respect of a fine or penalty includes (among other things) providing for the payment of premiums in respect of a policy of insurance where the risk is or includes the imposition of such a fine or the requirement to pay such a penalty.
