Paragraph 3 of Schedule 5 to the 1994 Act specifies the provision which a new pension scheme must contain to satisfy the statutory requirements. Paragraph 3 of Schedule 5 to the 1994 Act provides for a similar option in respect of all other participants in an existing scheme who continue in their employment.",
