The Trustees shall, at the time of making any delegation under sub-clause (1) above and at such time or times thereafter as they think fit, give to the managers instructions as to investment policy.

The terms and conditions of any delegation under sub-clause (1) above shall include the requirements that—

any exercise by the managers of powers thereby delegated shall be subject to and in accordance with the Trustees' instructions as to investment policy;

(b)

the managers shall inform the Trustees of each act done in exercise of powers so delegated as soon as reasonably possible;

(c)

the Trustees may without notice revoke the delegation or alter any of its terms and conditions (other than the requirements included in pursuance of this sub-clause) notwithstanding that the period of the delegation has not expired.
