5.—(1) A power or direction (whether created or given before or after the passing of this Act) to invest money in the loan shall be construed and have effect as including a power or direction (as the case may be) to invest in the new loan, and no such power or direction shall be terminated by reason only of the conversion and redemption of the loan.
