(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the National Savings Bank (Investment Deposits) (Limits) Order 1977 to remove the provision limiting the amount that the Director of Savings may receive by way of deposits for crediting to an individual savings account, or may otherwise credit to such an account, in any one year. A limit on investment deposits may be included in the terms and conditions of individual savings accounts.
Article 3 revokes two orders which increased the limit on that annual amount.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact is foreseen on the costs of business or the voluntary sector.
Article 3B was inserted by S.I. 1999/1056 and amended by S.I. 2008/734 and 2013/8.
Article 4(1) was amended by S.I. 2011/2288. There are other amendments not relevant to this Order.
