“Re-employment in England of certain Scottish pensioners

25A.— (1) Where a person having left the employment of a Scottish local authority is entitled to a pension or injury allowance payable under a Scottish local Act scheme then if he enters the employment of an English employing authority or an English local Act authority and that pension or allowance is on that account liable to be reduced or suspended, the service in respect of which that pension or allowance was granted shall be deemed to be service rendered to an English local authority for the purpose of determining whether the person is entitled to become an English contributory employee or an English local Act contributor, or to receive a benefit under the English benefits regulations or, as the case may be, under the English local Act scheme, but for no other purpose.

(2) In the calculation of any benefit payable to or in respect of such a person as an English contributory employee or an English local Act contributor, regulations made by the Minister under subsection (2) of section 6 of the Act of 1953 shall apply as if the years of service in respect of which the pension or allowance was granted had been reckonable under an English local Act scheme.”
