CONCLUSION
43. As it appears to us, the alternative interpretations proposed by Mr Biggs do not decrease the difficulties and their implications do introduce an element of absurdity or impracticability. They confirm us in our view that the interpretation we have adopted is the proper interpretation of the statutory provisions. The limitation introduced by s 84(3A)(b) means that authorisation by a designated qualifying regulator amounts to qualification within the meaning of s 84(1) while the person so authorised is in England and Wales, but not otherwise.
