(c)sections 7 to 10 of the M3Superannuation Act 1972.

(2)Where employment would fall within one of the classes specified in sub-paragraph (1) but for rules having effect under section 2 of the M4Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1948 (persons transferring to and from certain employments), the employment shall be treated as falling within that class and not within any other class to which this paragraph applies.
