2.—(1) For the purposes of section 1, a pension scheme is a relevant public service pension scheme if it falls within subsection (2) or (3).
(2) A scheme falls within this subsection if it is a public service pension scheme within the meaning of the Pension Schemes Act (see section 1(1) of that Act).
(3) A scheme falls within this subsection if it is—
(a)a scheme under section 1 of the Public Service Pensions Act (Northern Ireland) 2014 (new public service schemes),
(b)a new public body pension scheme (as defined in section 31 of that Act), or
(c)a statutory pension scheme which is connected with a scheme referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) (and for this purpose “statutory pension scheme” and “connected” have the meanings given in that Act; see sections 34 and 4(6) of that Act).
(4) But a scheme does not fall within subsection (3) if it is a scheme specified in an order made under Article 2(6A)(b) of the Pensions (Northern Ireland) Order 2005 (in this Act referred to as “the 2005 Order”) (schemes excluded from the definition of “public service pension scheme”).
