The Superannuation (English Local Government and Northern Ireland) Interchange (Amendment) Rules 1958

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Rules amend the Superannuation (English Local Government and Northern Ireland) Interchange Rules, 1952, which provide for interchange of superannuation rights between pensionable local government employment in England and Wales and similar employment in Northern Ireland. The amendments are, in the main, consequential on changes in local government superannuation law. They include, in respect of persons moving from employment in England or Wales to employment in Northern Ireland, provisions as to the payment of transfer values, the giving of notice by the employee and the exercise by local authorities of certain discretionary powers (Rules 5 and 6). In respect of persons moving from employment in Northern Ireland to employment in England or Wales, the Rules contain provisions with respect to the reckoning of service (Rule 7), the continuation in the new employment of payments which the employee was making with a view to adding to, or enhancing the value of, his reckonable service (Rule 8) and the ascertainment of the amount of contributions, should they become repayable, attributable to his employment in Northern Ireland (Rule 11).
