Local Government (Scotland) Act 1947

319 Provisions as to superannuation rights of transferred officers.

Where officers of a local authority who are entitled as such to benefits of a superannuation enactment are transferred to the service of another local authority in consequence of a transfer of functions by or by virtue of this Act, provision shall be made by a scheme made by the Secretary of State, after consultation with the local authorities and officers concerned—

(a) for securing that the superannuation enactment to the benefits of which such an officer was entitled immediately before his transfer shall continue to apply to him, subject to such modifications and adaptations as the Secretary of State may determine; or

(b) for applying to the officer, subject to such modifications and adaptations as the Secretary of State may determine, any superannuation enactment to the benefits of which officers of the authority to which the officer is transferred are entitled;

and any such scheme may contain such incidental, consequential and supplemental provisions as appear to the Secretary of State to be necessary or proper for giving full effect to the provisions of this section and of the scheme.
