as is equal to the difference between a Member’s ordinary salary (in accordance with any resolution of the House of Commons relating to the remuneration of Members for the time being in force) amd the salary which (in accordance with that resolution) is payable to him as a Member holding that qualifying office shall be treated as remuneration from the office of Member and not from the qualifying office, and shall accordingly be treated for the purposes of section 228(1) to (3) of this Act as pensionable emoluments from the office of the Member.
