(b)

in relation to a person's new local government employment, the body maintaining the superannuation fund to which he became a contributor in his new local government employment or, if that fund has been closed—

(i)

if when the fund was closed he was not employed in local government employment, the body which would be liable to pay him his pension in respect of his new local government employment if he had been entitled to receive payment of such a pension when he ceased to be employed in that employment; and
