13—(1) Before section 9 insert—N.I.
“Former salary related contracted-out schemes to comply with GMP requirements
8E—(1) A scheme that was a salary related contracted-out scheme is to be treated as including whatever provision it needs to contain to comply with the GMP requirements.
(2) A scheme complies with the GMP requirements if, in relation to any earner's service before the principal appointed day, it complies in all respects with sections 9 to 20E.
(3) Where—
(a)a scheme is permitted by any of those sections to include provision subject to certain requirements, and
(b)the scheme includes the provision but not the requirements,
the scheme is to be treated by subsection (1) as including the requirements.
(4) This section overrides any provision of a scheme to the extent that the provision of the scheme conflicts with it.”.
(2) For the purposes of section 8E it does not matter whether the scheme ceased to be contracted-out when the amendment made by paragraph 5 of this Schedule came into operation or before that time.
(3) But section 8E does not treat a scheme as having included any provision before this paragraph comes into operation.
