b
by virtue of leaving local government employment on that date and becoming a pensioner member on the commencement date,
and these Regulations shall apply to any such person as if he had already so ceased immediately before the commencement date.

paragraph (1) shall not apply to him;

he shall cease to be such a member on the day before the commencement date; and
