5.-(1) A person shall not purchase any certificates, or hold any certificates purchased on his behalf under Regulation 4(2) of these Regulations, if the total number of unit certificates which will be held by him immediately after the purchase (whether solely or jointly with any person) will exceed –
(a) 500, in the case of certificates issued not later than 31st March 1947 the price of issue of which is less than £1 per unit certificate, and
(b) 250, in the case of certificates issued not later than 31st March 1947 the price of issue of which is £1 per unit certificate, and

(3) In calculating for the purposes of this Regulation the total number of unit certificates which a person holds, a multiple certificate shall be taken to be such number of unit certificates as is represented by the multiple certificate, but no account shall be taken of any certificate which that person holds and which –

(i) as a member of a savings group working under the rules of the Provident Scheme of the National Savings Committee for England and Wales or of the National Savings Committee for Scotland, or

REPAYMENT OF CERTIFICATES
Applications for repayment.
6.-(1) Application for payment of the amount repayable in respect of a certificate shall (subject to the provisions of these Regulations relating to payment in the case of special classes of persons) be made by the holder of the certificate in writing in a manner approved by the Director of Savings.
(2) In the case of a multiple certificate, an application may be made for repayment in respect of any number of the unit certificates represented by the multiple certificate.
(3) The holder of a certificate, being a person who has attained the age of seven years, may, subject to the approval of the Director of Savings, authorise any person to apply for or receive on his behalf the amount repayable in respect of the certificate.
Repayment warrants.
7.-(1) Except where the Director of Savings otherwise directs, every payment of an amount repayable in respect of a certificate shall be made by a warrant; and accordingly every application for payment of any such amount shall be treated as implying an authority to him to issue a warrant for that amount and to pay it in accordance with the terms of the warrant, and the death of the person who made the application for repayment shall not of itself determine such authority; but if the Director of Savings receives notice that the applicant has died or has countermanded such authority, the Director of Savings shall not issue the warrant or, if it has already been issued, shall take all reasonable steps to stop payment thereof.
(2) The provisions of section 76, subsections (1), (3), (4) and (5) and, so far as it relates to crossed cheques, subsection (6) of section 77, and sections 78, 79, 80 and 81 of the Bills of Exchange Act 1882 (which relate to crossed cheques) and of sections 3 and 4 of the Cheques Act 1957[5] (which relate to unindorsed cheques as evidence of payment and to the protection of collecting bankers) shall apply to any crossed warrant issued under these Regulations as if the warrant were a cheque drawn on the Director of Savings by the officer issuing the warrant, but nothing in these Regulations shall make any such warrant negotiable.
(3) An uncrossed warrant shall not be paid until the receipt for the amount thereby payable has been duly signed by the payee or by some person authorised by the payee to receive payment:
Provided that, where such a warrant is paid to a person purporting to be the payee or to be a person authorised by the payee to receive payment, then, notwithstanding that the receipt on the warrant was signed by some person being neither the payee nor a person so authorised, the making of the payment shall be a full discharge to the Treasury and to the Director of Savings for the amount thereof, if it is shown that the payment was made in good faith and without negligence, and that the making of the payment is attributable to some act or omission on the part of the holder of the certificate to which the warrant relates or on the part of the payee or the person so authorised.
(4) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (3) above, where an uncrossed warrant for the amount repayable in respect of any certificate is made payable to the holder of the certificates, it may be paid to another person who signs the receipt on the warrant and forthwith reinvests the amount of the payment in certificates in the name of the holder of the repaid certificates; and the making of the payment shall be a full discharge to the Treasury and to the Director of Savings for the amount thereof.
(5) Except where the Director of Savings otherwise directs, a warrant shall not be paid until the certificate in respect of which the repayment is to be made has been delivered to the Director of Savings.
(6) An uncrossed warrant shall be payable at the place named in the warrant or otherwise in accordance with the directions contained therein, and a crossed warrant shall be payable at the office in London of the Director of Savings or at such other place as he may direct.
(7) For the purpose of determining the amount repayable in respect of a certificate, the payment of the amount repayable thereunder shall be deemed to be effected on the date on which the warrant is issued.
(8) The posting of a letter containing a warrant addressed to any person at the last address furnished by him to the Director of Savings shall, as regards the liability of the Treasury or the Director of Savings, be equivalent to the delivery of the warrant to the person to whom the letter was addressed.
Repayment in case of persons under 7 years of age and mentally disordered persons.
8.-(1) Subject to the provisions of this Regulation, no repayment shall be made in respect of a certificate held by a person under the age of seven years.
(2) An application for repayment in respect of a certificate held by a mentally disordered person shall be made by his receiver.
(3) Where it is shown to the satisfaction of the Director of Savings that any person holding, or having an interest in, a certificate is either a person under the age of seven years or a mentally disordered person for whose estate no receiver has been appointed, the Director of Savings may, if he thinks fit, pay the whole or any part of the amount repayable in respect of the certificate to any person who satisfies him that he is a proper person to receive payment.
Repayment in case of certificate held by persons jointly.
9.-(1) Application for payment of the amount repayable in respect of a certificate held in the names of two or more persons as joint holders shall be made by all those persons or, in the case of the death of one or more of them, by the survivors:
Provided that –
(a) where one of any joint holders of a certificate, being a trustee for the other or others of them, becomes bankrupt or a mentally disordered person, the application may be made by the other or others of them without the concurrence of the trustee in bankruptcy or the receiver, if any, and the Director of Savings, if he thinks fit, may, without any such concurrence, pay the amount repayable in respect of the certificate in the same manner as if the trustee in question were not one of the holders of the certificate; and
(b)where one of any joint holders of a certificate is the Public Trustee, the application may be made by him alone, and the Director of Savings shall pay the amount repayable in respect of the certificate to the Public Trustee alone.
(2) The joint holders of a certificate may authorise any person, including one of themselves, to act as their agent for the purpose of receiving on their behalf any amount repayable in respect of the certificate.
Repayment to friendly societies, etc.
10.-(1) Any application for payment of the amount repayable in respect of certificates held by a friendly society or any other body of persons, corporate or unincorporate, shall be made by that society or body in the names of the persons specified as the persons authorised to apply for repayment on behalf of the society or body in any direction given to the Director of Savings from time to time by the society or body in a form approved by the Director of Savings or, where no such direction has been given, in the names of such persons as the Director of Savings may approve.
(2) Where, in pursuance of these Regulations, any amount is repayable to any friendly society or other body of persons, whether corporate or unincorporate, a receipt for the amount may be given by any person purporting to be an agent or officer of that society or body authorised to receive the repayment.
Repayment in case of bankrupts.
11. Where it is shown to the satisfaction of the Director of Savings that a receiving order[6] has been made against any person who is the sole holder of a certificate, or that a trustee has been appointed in the bankruptcy of any such person, or that an order for the administration in bankruptcy of the estate of a deceased sole holder has been made, the Director of Savings may, if he thinks fit, on an application made in that behalf by the Official Receiver[7] or trustee, pay to the Official Receiver or the trustee, as the case may be, the amount repayable in respect of that certificate.
TRANSFER OF CERTIFICATES AND ADDITION OF NAMES
Transfers and addition of names.
12.-(1) Every transfer of a certificate shall be effected by the Director of Savings causing the name of the person to whom the certificate is to be transferred to be recorded as the holder thereof.
(2) The Director of Savings may in his discretion refuse to transfer a certificate, but shall, if he so refuses, forthwith send an intimation of his refusal to the person desiring the transfer:
Provided that nothing in this paragraph shall affect any right of a nominee.
(3) A certificate shall not be transferred except on a written application in that behalf made, in a manner approved by the Director of Savings, by the holder of the certificate, and every such application must, except where the Director of Savings otherwise directs, be accompanied by the certificate to which it relates.
(4) On the receipt of an application duly made for the transfer of a certificate, the Director of Savings, if he is satisfied that the transfer can lawfully be made under these Regulations and ought to be made, shall forthwith cause the certificate to be transferred in accordance with the application, and the death of the applicant shall not of itself determine the authority given by the applicant for the transfer to be made; but if the Director of Savings receives notice before the certificate is transferred that the applicant has died, the transfer shall not be made.
(5) On the application of the holder of a certificate, the Director of Savings may, if he thinks fit and subject to the provisions of these Regulations, cause the names of any persons to be recorded as joint holders of the certificate with the applicant.
(6) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (3) of this Regulation, where a certificate is held by any person as a trustee jointly with the beneficiary, the Director of Savings may, if he thinks fit, on the application of any person being a holder of the certificate cause the certificate to be transferred either to the beneficiary alone or to the beneficiary and another trustee.
(7) This Regulation shall, so far as applicable, apply, in the event of the death of the holder of a certificate, to the transfer of the certificate, and, in particular, any person to whom the amount repayable in respect of the certificate may be paid in accordance with the provisions of these Regulations may, subject to the provisions of these Regulations, instead of obtaining payment of the amount repayable, apply for the transfer of the certificate into his name or the name of another person.

Particulars to be furnished by nominator to Director of Savings.
17.-(1) A nominator shall, on making a nomination, furnish to the Director of Savings such particulars of the certificates held by him at the date of the nomination as the Director of Savings may require.

Operation of nomination.
18.-(1) On the death of any nominator, the Director of Savings shall, as the nominee or nominees may require, either pay the amount repayable in respect of the certificates which are the subject of the nomination to him or them, or as he or they may direct, or transfer such certificates to him or them:

(c)if, on the death of a nominator, any nominee is under the age of sixteen years, the Director of Savings shall not make any payment or transfer any certificate to, or at the request of, that nominee until he attains that age, but may –
(i) if it is shown to the satisfaction of the Director of Savings that it is expedient that the said amount or any part thereof should be paid and applied for the maintenance or otherwise for the benefit of that nominee, pay the said amount or that part thereof to any person who satisfies the Director of Savings that he will apply it for such purposes as aforesaid; or
(ii) at the request of the nominee, re-invest the said amount or any part thereof in new certificates, which shall then be treated as if they were the certificates which were the subject of the nomination;
(d)where it appears to the Director of Savings that the estate of the nominator, apart from the certificates nominated, is insufficient to meet the funeral expenses or satisfy any claims of creditors of the nominator of which the Director of Savings has notice (including, in a case where the nominator was domiciled in Scotland, claims under the Succession (Scotland) Act 1964 and in respect of jus relicti, jus relictae or legitim), he may, if he thinks fit, apply the amount repayable in respect of the certificates, or any part thereof, in or towards payment of such funeral expenses or in or towards satisfaction of the claim of any person in respect of such funeral expenses paid by that person or of the claims of any such creditors.
(2) Where a nominee dies after the death of the nominator, but before any sum has been paid, or the certificate has been transferred, to him as nominee, the certificate shall, subject to the provisions of these Regulations, be deemed to have been transferred to the nominee immediately before the date of his death.
(3) Notwithstanding any rule of law to the contrary, any nominee to whom a payment may be made under this Regulation may sign a receipt therefor if he has attained the age of sixteen years, and the receipt shall be a valid receipt without the signature of any other person.
PAYMENT IN CASE OF DEATH

(2) Where any sum repayable in respect of a certificate is paid, or a certificate is transferred, in purported pursuance of this Regulation, the payment or transfer shall, notwithstanding the invalidity of, or any defect in, the probate or letters of administration, be deemed for the purposes of these Regulations to have been duly made.

(e)if the deceased was a seaman of a foreign country, being a country with which a treaty has been made in respect of the payment of moneys due to seamen, to the consular authority of that country;
(f)if the deceased was a foreign subject, not being a seaman to whom the provisions of the last preceding sub-paragraph apply, to the consular authority of the country to which the deceased belonged, or to such other authority as appears to the Director of Savings to be appropriate, subject in either case to the Director of Savings being satisfied that the amount repayable will be duly distributed;

Provided that where a person to whom any sum may be paid under sub-paragraph (b) or (c) of this paragraph has died before payment has been made to him, that sum or any part thereof may be paid to any person to whom it might have been paid if the first mentioned person had, immediately before his death, been the sole holder of the certificates in question.
(2) Notwithstanding any rule of law to the contrary, any person to whom a payment may be made under sub-paragraph (b) or (c) of paragraph (1) of this Regulation or under the proviso to that paragraph may sign a receipt therefor if he has attained the age of sixteen years, and the receipt shall be a valid receipt without the signature of any other person, and where any person to whom a payment may be so made is unable, by reason of his age or for any other reason whatsoever, to give a discharge therefor under these Regulations, the Director of Savings may make the payment to any person who satisfies him that he will apply it for the maintenance or otherwise for the benefit of the first mentioned person.
(3) Subject to the provisions of the last preceding paragraph, the Director of Savings, in making any payment under sub-paragraph (b) or (c) of paragraph (1) of this Regulation or under the proviso to that paragraph, shall, unless he is of opinion that hardship or inconvenience would be thereby caused, have regard to the rules of law relating to the distribution of the estates of deceased persons, but, if he is of that opinion, may depart from those rules in such manner and to such extent as he considers just.
