referred to in rule 4(1)
are that the person shall, before or within 6 months after entering overseas

first fund authority in writing that he desires these rules to apply to him;

(b) furnish that
authority with particulars in writing of any national service in which he
has been engaged since leaving local government employment; and
(c) pay to that
authority an amount equal to any sum paid to him by way of return of contributions
(other than voluntary contributions) on or after leaving local government
employment.
(2) The first fund
authority may extend the period for compliance with any condition specified
in this rule.
6 

(1) Where a person
ceases to hold overseas employment in such circumstances, including that of
his age and the length of his service (taking into account the period of overseas
employment), as had they obtained when he ceased to hold his local government
employment would have entitled him to any benefit (other than an injury allowance)
under the Act of 1937, he shall be entitled, as from the date on which he
ceases to hold the overseas employment, to receive that benefit out of the
superannuation fund of the first fund authority, calculated as if he had become
entitled thereto at the date on which he ceased to hold his local government
employment.
(2) Where a person
ceases to hold overseas employment and has attained the age of 60 years, or
any lesser age at which under the conditions of service applicable to him
in the overseas employment he is required by reason of age to retire from
that employment, but by reason of his not having attained some greater age
and served for a correspondingly longer period he does not qualify for a benefit
under the provisions of the preceding paragraph, he shall be entitled on attaining
such greater age to receive the like benefits as he would have received under
the preceding paragraph if he had attained that age at the date when he ceased
to hold the overseas employment and had held that employment for a correspondingly
longer period.
(3) Where a person
dies in any of the following circumstances, that is to say—
(a) while in overseas
employment;
(b) within 12
months after leaving overseas employment;
(c) after ceasing
to be in overseas employment in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph (2)
of this rule and before attaining such greater age as is therein mentioned;
or
(d) after having
become entitled to a benefit under paragraph (1) or (2) of this rule,there shall be paid in respect of him out of the superannuation
fund of the first fund authority the like benefits (if any), except any benefit
for which the requisite voluntary contributions have not been maintained during
the period of overseas employment, as would have been paid—
(i) in any of
the three first-mentioned circumstances, if he had died immediately before
ceasing to hold his local government employment and there had been reckonable
for the purpose of determining whether any benefit might have become payable
to or in respect of him under the Act of 1937, in addition to any service
reckonable under the said Act, a period of service equal in length to the
period of overseas employment and, if he was a person to whom paragraph (2)
applied, the period between the date of his ceasing to hold that employment
and the date of his death, and
(ii) in the last-mentioned
circumstance, if he had become entitled to the said benefit under the said
Act.
(4) Where a person
ceases to hold overseas employment in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph
(2) of this rule, the first fund authority shall, if within 6 months after
ceasing to hold the overseas employment he so requests, pay to him in lieu
of the benefits to which he would otherwise later become entitled under the
said paragraph (2), those benefits reduced, according to his age at the date
on which he ceased to be employed in the overseas employment, by the percentages
shown in the appropriate columns of the Tables set out in schedule 1 so, however, that any
such reduction shall be disregarded in the calculation of any widow's pension
which may become payable in respect of the person under paragraph (3) of this
rule.
(5) Where a person
to whom this rule applies became engaged in national service after ceasing
to hold his local government employment, that service shall for the purposes
of calculating any benefit payable to or in respect of him under this rule
be reckonable as contributing service if that service would have been so reckonable
had the person returned to his local government employment at the date on
which he entered overseas employment or, if it would not have been so reckonable
as aforesaid by reason of the fact that the person had not complied with any
condition as to the payment of contributions, if immediately after he entered
the overseas employment or immediately after he notified the first fund authority,
whichever is the later, he paid to the first fund authority the like sum as
he would have been required to pay in order to comply with the said condition
had he returned to his local government employment.
7 

(1) Where a benefit
becomes payable to or in respect of a person by virtue of rule 6(1) or (3), any provision
of any enactment applicable to him prescribing a minimum benefit or a method
of calculating the benefit otherwise than by reference to the amount of his
contributions or the service reckonable by him or the amount of the pension
which, calculated by reference to that service was, or would in certain given
circumstances have become, payable to him, shall be disregarded.
(2) Where a benefit
becomes payable to or in respect of a person to whom rule 11 has become applicable
and the amount of that benefit falls to be calculated under any provision
of any enactment applicable to him prescribing a minimum benefit or a method
of calculating the benefit otherwise than by reference to the amount of the
person's contributions or the service reckonable by him or the amount of the
pension which, calculated by reference to that service, was, or would in certain
circumstances have become, payable to him, then, if the number of years of
service reckonable by the person under the provisions of that enactment is
less than any minimum number of years of qualifying service prescribed for
the receipt of the said benefit, the amount of the said benefit, in so far
as it is obtained by reference to the said provision, shall be the amount
which bears the same proportion to the sum otherwise payable as the number
of years of service so reckonable as aforesaid bears to the minimum number
of years of qualifying service.
8 

(1) Where a person
has entered overseas employment and these rules have become applicable in
relation to him, the authority or body by whom he was employed may, within
6 months after the date on which they receive notification from him (or, if
the employing authority are not the first fund authority, from the first fund
authority) of his election that these rules shall apply to him, exercise in
relation to him any discretion which, with a view to increasing the benefits
payable to him, it would have been open to them to exercise at the time when
he left their employment if he had then retired and had been entitled to a
retirement pension.
(2) A decision made
in the exercise of any discretion under this rule shall be subject to the
limitations and restrictions (if any) and to the right of appeal (if any)
to which it would have been subject if the discretion had been exercised on
the person's retirement in the circumstances aforesaid.
(3) Where a discretion
has been exercised under this rule, the service reckonable immediately before
he left his local government employment by the person in whose favour the
discretion has been exercised shall be deemed to have been correspondingly
increased, and any transfer value that may become payable by virtue of rule 11 shall be calculated accordingly.

(4) Any increase in
service, if attributable to a decision under this rule to increase the benefits
payable to the person otherwise than by any notional increase or extension
of the service reckonable for the purpose of calculating those benefits, or
by treating any specified period of non-contributing service as contributing
service or, under a local Act scheme, by similarly converting service of one
category to service of another category, shall be ascertained by converting
the service in respect of which the higher rate of benefit is payable into
contributing service in the manner in which non-contributing service is converted
into contributing service under section 2(4)
of the Act of 1953.
(5) Where the amount
of any benefit to which a person becomes entitled under rule 6, or the amount of any transfer
value payable in pursuance of rule 11,
is increased in consequence of the exercise by an authority or body of any
power conferred upon them by this rule, that authority or body shall repay
the amount of the increase to the superannuation fund out of which the benefit
or transfer value is payable.
9 

(1) Where a person
in respect of whom a benefit may become payable under rule 6 was, at the time when he
ceased to be a contributory employee, in the course of making payments (other
than those to which paragraph (2) of this rule applies) by way of—
(a) instalments
in discharge of a fixed sum or
(b) contributions
of a fraction or percentage of emoluments additional to the percentage payable
in respect of current service,as a condition of being entitled to reckon any period of service
as a period of contributing service for the purposes of the Act of 1937 or
as a condition of increasing the length at which the said service would be
reckonable for the purpose of calculating a benefit under the said Act, he
shall be entitled, if on electing under rule 5
that these rules shall apply to him he repays forthwith to the first fund
authority a sum equal to any sums repaid to him by way of a return of such
payments on or after ceasing to hold his local government employment, to pay
the outstanding payments to that authority in the manner in which he would
have been liable to pay them if, on the date when he entered overseas employment,
he had entered employment in which he was a contributory employee, and—

(i) if he continues
the payments, the service in respect of which they are made shall be reckonable
for the purposes of the Act of 1937 in the manner in which it would have been
reckonable if, immediately before he ceased to hold his local government employment,
he had been under no further liability in respect of such payments;
(ii) if he does
not continue the payments, then for the purposes of the Act of 1937 account
shall be taken of the service in respect of which the payments were being
made only to the extent (if any) to which account would have been taken of
that service if he had not been in the course of making such payments as aforesaid
in respect thereof at the time when he left his former employment.
(2) Subject to the
provisions of rule 11,
where a person in respect of whom a benefit may become payable under rule 6 was in the course of making
payments in respect of added years at the time when he left his local government
employment, those years shall not be reckonable for any purpose of these rules.

10 
A person who becomes entitled under rule 6
to a benefit by way of annual amounts or who would become so entitled if he
were to retire and who would have been entitled to surrender a part thereof
had he become entitled to receive that benefit under the Act of 1953 on his
retirement as an employee of the authority or body whose employment he left
before entering overseas employment may surrender a part of that allowance
in consideration of the grant of a pension to his spouse or any dependant
on his death, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of schedule 2.
PART III
11 

(1) Subject to the
provisions of this rule, where a person to whom part II
of these rules applies ceases to hold overseas employment and within the prescribed
period thereafter re-enters local government employment, then—
(a) he shall
be entitled to be treated as if he had done so within 12 months after leaving
local government employment, and
(b) he shall
be entitled to reckon his period of overseas employment for the purpose of
determining whether he is entitled to a benefit under the Act of 1937, but
for no other purpose.
(2) This rule shall
not apply to a person who has received a return of contributions from the
first fund authority on or after ceasing to hold his last overseas employment
unless he pays to the second fund authority—
(a) an amount
equal to the returned contributions (other than voluntary contributions) and

(b) any interest
which he may be required to pay under paragraph (5) of this rule.
(3) Where there
is a break of 12 months or more between the date on which a person leaves
and the date on which he re-enters local government employment, he shall not
be entitled—
(i) to enjoy
rights under sections 6
and 31
of the Act of 1937 as a designated employee in respect of service rendered
without a disqualifying break of service;
(ii) to be
treated for the purposes of Part I of Schedule 2
to the Act of 1937 as a person who has not had a disqualifying break of service;

(iii) to exercise
an option under regulation 17(1)(c)
of the benefits regulations;
(iv) to enjoy
the rights which he previously enjoyed by virtue of having exercised an option
under regulation 17(1)
of the benefits regulations; or
(v) to make
in his new local government employment any such payments as are mentioned
in rule 9(1) or (2)
in respect of any amount which was outstanding at the time when he ceased
to be subject to the Act of 1937, other than any such payments as a are mentioned
in rule 9(1) which
under these rules he has continued to make but has not completed in his overseas
employment.
(4) The amount of
any transfer value which may become payable under the transfer value regulations
in respect of a person to whom this rule applies shall be calculated by reference
to his age on the date on which he re-enters local government employment:
Provided that—

(a) where such
date is earlier than the commencement of these rules, the transfer value shall
be calculated by reference to his age at the commencement of these rules;
and
(b) where interest
is required to be paid under paragraph (5) of this rule, the transfer value
shall be reduced by an amount equivalent to the interest paid.
(5) Where a person
re-enters or re-entered local government employment more than 12 months after
ceasing to hold his last overseas employment and the period of 12 months is
extended pursuant to rule 3(3)(c),
the first fund authority may require him to pay compound interest on any sum
paid to him by way of return of contributions (other than voluntary contributions)
on or after leaving his overseas employment at a rate of 3% per annum with
half-yearly rests for a period beginning either with the date 12 months after
the date on which he left overseas employment or, where this is later, the
date on which he received such sum, and ending with the date on which he notified
his desire under rule 3(3)(c)
for this rule to apply to him.
(6) The interest
payable under this rule shall not exceed a sum equal to one-half of the difference
between the transfer value payable under paragraph (4) of this rule (or where
the superannuation fund concerned is the same in the case of both employments,
the transfer value which would have been payable had he transferred to the
employment of an authority whose contributory employees participate in a different
fund) and the transfer value which would be payable if calculated by reference
to the person's age on ceasing to hold his last overseas employment.
PART IV
12

of these rules applies ceases to hold overseas employment, and enters other
employment in such circumstances that the first fund authority pay a transfer
value in respect of him under interchange rules made under section 2 of the Act of 1948,

overseas employment and
(b) before or within
6 months after entering the further overseas employment he notifies the first
fund authority in writing that he desires these rules to continue to apply

on or after ceasing to hold his former overseas employment.
14 
Notwithstanding anything in the Act of 1937, no payment shall be
made thereunder by way of a return of contributions (other than voluntary
contributions) to any person who enters overseas employment in which part II of these rules has become
applicable to him unless and until he ceases to hold that employment in circumstances
in which he does not become entitled to a benefit under these rules.

The provisions of section 35
of the Act of 1937 (which provides for decision of questions and appeals to
the Minister) shall have effect in relation to a person who has ceased to

after the date on which he ceases to hold his overseas employment.
