3.—(1) Subject to the following provisions of this regulation, in determining at any time after the first scheme year of the scheme for the purposes of sections 16 to 21 and these regulations (so far as those sections and these regulations relate to the number of members which a scheme comprises or to the statutory consultation procedure) whether or not a person is a member or whether he is a member of a specified description, a person shall be treated as becoming or ceasing to be a member or, as the case may be, a member of that description at the beginning of the scheme year following that in which he actually becomes or ceases to be a member or, as the case may be, a member of that description.
(2) If a member ceases to be a member before the statutory consultation procedure begins, he shall not be treated as a member by virtue of paragraph (1) for the purposes of that procedure (but this paragraph does not affect the application of paragraph (1) to persons who cease to be members of a specified description whilst remaining members).
(3) Where paragraph (1) applies and the statutory consultation procedure begins in one scheme year and ends in another, for the purposes of that procedure the question whether a person is a member or a member of a specified description at any time during that procedure shall be determined in accordance with that paragraph immediately before the start of that procedure.
(4) The trustees of a scheme may determine—
(a)that paragraph (1) shall not apply in relation to the scheme at any time on or after the date of the determination; or
(b)that, for the purposes of any statutory consultation procedure beginning on or after that date—
(i)the question whether a person is a member at any time during that procedure, or
(ii)the question whether a member is a member of a specified description at any such time, or
(iii)both those questions,
shall be determined at a time no more than two months before the start of that procedure.
(5) A determination under paragraph (4) may apply as respects all the provisions to which paragraph (1) refers or only to provisions specified in the determination, and may be revoked or amended by a further determination.
(6) Paragraphs (1) to (5) are without prejudice to paragraph 8(3) of Schedule 1.
(7) For the purposes of sections 16 to 21 and these regulations, “member”, in relation to a scheme, does not include any person whose service is only pensionable service by virtue of qualifying him for death benefits (unless by virtue of any of the previous provisions of this regulation he is at any time treated as a member by virtue of previous membership).]
