(11) Where only part of any sum falling to be paid under sub-paragraph (d) of the last preceding paragraph is paid within the period specified therein, any widow's or children's pension which would, if the whole of the said sum had been paid, have been payable under Part III of the Superannuation Act 1965 (as modified by this Rule), or under the corresponding provisions (as so modified) of the superannuation scheme administered by the contributing authority under whom the officer last served, shall be reduced so as to bear to the full amount thereof the same proportion as the sum paid bears to the total sum falling to be paid.
(12) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (10) or (11) of this Rule—
(a)a payment made under sub-paragraph (d) of the said paragraph (10) shall be ineffective for the purposes of the said paragraphs (10) and (11) unless either a widow's pension or a children's pension can be paid in respect of the officer's contributing service at a rate equal to at least six pounds ten shillings per annum; and
