(13B) Where paragraph (13A) applies, the Committee—

(b)may subsequently ask the fund actuary to revise or withdraw and re-issue the rates adjustments certificate if it considers it reasonable to do so.

(13C) Where a revised rates and adjustments certificate is obtained under paragraph (13B)(a), it will take account of any contributions already received from the contributing body further to the rates and adjustments certificate obtained under paragraph (13A).

(13D) The Committee may, with the approval of the Department, if it thinks necessary to protect the solvency of the fund or prevent liabilities in relation to one contributing body falling onto other contributing bodies, require active members employed by a particular contributing body to cease future accrual with effect from a date specified by the Committee so that the contributing body no longer employs active members..
