It also makes consequential changes to articles 2 and 72 of the 2005 Order.\nNew article 72A relates to communications made to employees by or on behalf of third parties about group personal pension schemes and stakeholder pension schemes.\nNew articles 72B and 72C relate to communications made to employees about work-related insurance by employers and by or on behalf of third parties.\nNew articles 72D and 72E relate to communications made to employees about staff mortgages by employers and by or on behalf of third parties.\nEach new exemption only applies if certain requirements for the employees’ protection are met.\nA regulatory impact assessment of the effect of this instrument on the costs of business may be obtained from the Financial Services Strategy Team, HM Treasury, 1 Horse Guards Road, London SW1A 2HQ and is available on the Treasury’s website (www.hm-treasury.gov.uk).",
