2 Such a resolution may be passed only before the expiry of the period of six months beginning with the day on which he becomes a member.
3 The member must be aged less than 59 when he becomes a member.
4 The resolution must specify the additional period of membership.
5 That period must not exceed the maximum addition under Schedule 4.
6 Where the employing authority have passed a resolution under paragraph (1) the additional period may be counted as part of the member’s total membership.
