2
(1)
Where a pension to which this paragraph applies is increased under this Act, and by virtue of section 7(3) any part of the cost of the increase would, but for paragraph 1 above, be apportioned to a fund not administered by the pension authority, that part of the cost shall be reimbursed to the pension authority; and the cost of reimbursement shall be defrayed and borne as if it were the cost of an increase under this Act on a separate pension payable out of that fund in respect of the employment giving rise to the apportionment to that fund.
(2)
Where a pension to which this paragraph applies is increased under this Act, and—
(a)
the pension is payable partly in respect of service in respect of which another such pension was payable (" the previous service ") and partly in respect of further service rendered after the termination of the previous service; and
(b)
different authorities are the last employing authority in relation to the two pensions, but the cost of the final pension does not fall to be apportioned ;
then so much of the cost of the increase as is referable to the previous service on an apportionment made according to the length of that service as compared with that of the further service shall be reimbursed to the pension authority by the authority who are the last employing authority in relation to the earlier pension (or, if the pension authority are that authority, shall be borne by the pension authority and shall not be reimbursed in accordance with paragraph 1 above by the last employing authority).
(3)
Paragraphs 1(2) and (3) above shall apply for purposes of this paragraph as they apply for purposes of paragraph 1.
(4)
This paragraph applies to the same pensions as paragraph 1 above, except that it does not apply to pensions specified in paragraphs 44, 45 and 56 of Schedule 2.
