Paragraph 3 Insurance groups
Notwithstanding any provision of the new Part VII, the directors of the parent company of an insurance group (within the meaning of section 255A(4) thereof) which is required by section 227 thereof to prepare group accounts may prepare those accounts for any financial year ending prior to 1st January 1994 in other than consolidated form, if:
an undertaking within the group is authorised to carry on both long term and general business (those expressions having the meaning ascribed to them by section 1 of the Insurance Companies Act 1982f1) or the group comprises one or more undertakings authorised to carry on long term business and one or more undertakings authorised to carry on general business; and
that form would have been permitted by section 229(6) of the old Part VII.
Where the parent company of an insurance group takes advantage of sub-paragraph (1), the provisions of the new Part VII shall apply with respect to such alternate-form group accounts (and in particular their content) with any necessary modifications as a consequence of their being other than in consolidated form.
The provisions of this paragraph take effect subject to Part II of this Schedule.
