4.—(1) Paragraph (2) applies if—
(a)the Financial Policy Committee has given a direction to the PRA or the FCA under section 9H of the 1998 Act which specifies a loan-to-value percentage or a debt-to-income ratio (“the first direction”);
(b)the Financial Policy Committee subsequently revokes the first direction; and
(c)within a reasonable period of time after the revocation of the first direction, the Financial Policy Committee gives another direction to the PRA or the FCA under section 9H of the 1998 Act (“the subsequent direction”) which is in substance identical to the first direction except in relation to the values specified in the direction.

(b)sections 138J and 138K of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 do not apply to the PRA, but the PRA must undertake and publish, at the same time as the subsequent direction is implemented, a cost benefit analysis relating to changes implemented pursuant to the subsequent direction.
