(3)An order such as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) which is made without the application of the successor company shall not be invalid because in fact it does not have the effect of securing that the successor company and its subsidiaries are not placed in any worse position, but except in so far as the successor company approves the effect of the order the Minister shall as soon as may be make the necessary amending order.

shall not thereby cease to be eligible to participate in any pension scheme in which he was a participant immediately before the appointed day.

(6)Subject to sub-paragraph (5), a person who on or after the appointed day leaves or enters the employment of the group consisting of the successor company and its subsidiaries (in this sub-paragraph referred to as “the NFC group”) shall not be eligible by virtue of any provision of an order under the said section 74 made before that day—

(a)to participate in any of the Corporation’s pension schemes by reason of any employment outside the NFC group; or

(b)to participate in a pension scheme other than one of the Corporation’s pension schemes by reason of his employment within the NFC group.

(7)In this paragraph—

(a)participant”, in relation to a pension scheme, means—

(ii)in relation to a scheme under which benefits are not or will not be receivable as of right, a person who (whether he is referred to in the scheme as a member, as a contributor or otherwise) has contributed under the scheme and has pension rights thereunder;

and “participate” and “eligible to participate” shall be construed accordingly;

(b)pension”, “pension rights” and “pension scheme” have the same meaning as in section 74 of the M5Transport Act 1962; and

(c)references to the Corporation’s pension schemes are to schemes established by the Corporation or in relation to which the rights, liabilities and functions of the Transport Holding Company were transferred to the Corporation by the M6British Transport (Pensions of Employees) (No. 1) Order 1968.

(3)In considering the exercise of his powers under that section in favour of the successor company, the Minister shall take into account any capital expenditure within that section not previously taken into account, including expenditure incurred before the appointed day; and the financial limits set by subsection (2) of that section shall apply in relation to such an exercise of the Minister’s powers as if grants made to the Corporation at any time before the appointed day had been made to the successor company at that time.

Reimbursement for certain travel concessionsU.K.

9(1)The obligations of the Corporation transferred by virtue of section 45 include any obligation to comply with terms attached to a payment made under section 21 of the Transport Act 1978 (reimbursement of amounts paid in connection with travel concessions enjoyed by certain employees and others).U.K.

(2)If any dispute between the Board and the Corporation as to the amount so payable stands referred to the Minister immediately before the appointed day, it shall be dealt with thereafter as if the successor company had at all times been a party to the reference.
