(a) any order made under section 21 above in any of those five tax years increasing an eranings factor shall be disregarded (but without prejudice to any increase made by the last order made under that section before the beginning of those five tax years); and

(b) any relevant earnings factor derived from contributions in respect of any year (hereafter in this subsection referred to as “the relevant contributions year” shall be treated as increased by 12 per cent. compound for each of those five tax years, other than any of those years which—

(i) constitutes or begins before the relevant contributions year, or

(ii) begins after the final relevant year in relation to the earner.”

(8) For subsection (6) of section 44 of the Pensions Act (which provides that the costs which accrued rights premium or a pensioner’s rights premium is to defray shall, unless the person liable for the premium elects otherwise, be calculated on the basis there mentioned) there shall be substituted the following subsection—

“(6) In determining the amount of any state scheme premium payable under this section where one or more of the five years ending with the tax year in which the scheme ceases to be contracted-out is a relevant year in relation to the earner, the costs referred to in subsection (5)(a) and (b) above shall, unless the person liable for the premium elects in the prescribed manner that this subsection shall not apply, be calculated as follows—

(a) any order made under section 21 above in any of those five tax years increasing a relevant earnings factor shall be disregarded (but without prejudice to any increase made by the last order made under that section before the beginning of those five tax years); and

(b) any relevant earnings factor derived from contributions in respect of any year (hereafter in this subsection referred to as “the relevant contributions year") shall be treated as increased by 12 per cent. compound for each of those five tax years, other than any of those years which—

(i) constitutes or begins before the relevant contributions year, or

(ii) begins after the final relevant year in relation to the earner;

and in this subsection “relevant year” and “final relevant year” have the same meanings as in section 35 above and references to the earner shall be construed as references to the earner in respect of whom or, as the case may be, in respect of whose widow the premium in question has become payable.”

(9) In subsection (3) of section 45 of the Pensions Act (which provides that the costs the difference between which a limited revaluation premium is to defray shall, unless the person liable for the premium elects otherwise, be calculated on the basis there mentioned) for the words from “be calculated" onwards there shall be substituted the words

“unless the person liable for the premium elects in the prescribed manner that this subsection shall not apply, be calculated as follows—

(a) any order made under section 21 above increasing an earnings factor and made in any of the five tax years ending with the tax year in which the scheme ceases to be contracted-out shall be disregarded (but without prejudice to any increase made by the last order made under that section before the beginning of those five tax years); and

(b) any relevant earnings factor derived from contributions in respect of any year (hereafter in this subsection referred to as “the relevant contributions year") shall be treated as increased by 12 per cent. compound for each of those five tax years, other than any of those years which constitutes or begins before the relevant contributions year.”

(10) Without prejudice to their powers apart from this subsection, the Occupational Pensions Board may withhold or cancel by virtue of this subsection a contracting-out certificate in respect of a scheme if they consider that the rules of the scheme are such that persons over particular ages may be prevented from participating in the scheme; and without prejudice to the effect apart from this subsection of subsections (1) and (2) of section 50 of the Pensions Act (which among other things provide that certain alterations of the rules of certain schemes are not to be made without the consent of the Board), those subsections shall apply to an alteration of the rules of a scheme mentioned in subsection (1) of that section which would make the rules such as aforesaid as those subsections apply to an alteration mentioned in that subsection.

(c) after sub-paragraph (3) there shall be inserted the following sub-paragraph—

“(4) Without prejudice to sub-paragraph (3) above, regulations may provide—

(a) that for the purpose of extinguishing accrued rights to guaranteed minimum pensions and rights to receive such pensions a state scheme premium is to be treated as actually paid on a date determined under the regulations;

(b) for disregarding the effect of regulations made by virtue of paragraph (a) of this sub-paragraph in a case where the premium in question is not paid on or before the date when it becomes payable or such later date as may be determined under the regulations; and

(c) for obtaining repayment of benefits paid by virtue of regulations so made in a case where the effect of the regulations is to be disregarded, and, where the repayment is obtained from assets of the relevant scheme, for reducing the sums payable under the scheme to the beneficiary by the amount of the repayment.”
