if he is discharged, the disqualification shall cease on the date of his discharge.
Where a person is disqualified under regulation 4(1)(c)(ii) by reason of his having made a composition or arrangement with, or having granted a trust deed for, his creditors—
if he pays his debts in full, the disqualification shall cease on the date on which such payment is completed; and
in any other case, disqualification shall cease on the expiry of a period of five years beginning with the date on which the terms of the deed of composition or arrangement or, as the case may be, the terms of the trust deed are fulfilled.
Subject to paragraph (7), where a person is disqualified under regulation 4(1)(e) he may, after the expiry of two years beginning with the date on which he was removed from office or from being concerned in the management or control of any body, as the case may be, apply in writing to the Secretary of State to remove the disqualification, and the Secretary of State may direct that the disqualification shall cease.
