Re-employment in Scotland of certain English pensioners14A

1

Where a person having left the employment of an English local authority is entitled to a pension or injury allowance payable under an English local Act scheme then if he enters the employment of a Scottish employing authority or a Scottish 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 a Scottish local authority for the purpose of determining whether the person is entitled to become a Scottish contributory employee or a Scottish local Act contributor, or to receive a benefit under the Scottish benefits regulations or, as the case may be, under the Scottish 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 a Scottish contributory employee or Scottish local Act contributor, regulations made by the Secretary of State under subsection (2) of section 6 of the Act of 1953 (which relates to the re-employment of certain pensioners) shall apply as if the years of service in respect of which the pension or allowance was granted had been reckonable under a Scottish local Act scheme.
