The Parliamentary Commissioner's Pension Regulations 1967

Commissioner electing for the civil service scheme

2.—(1) This Regulation shall apply to any person appointed to be the Commissioner after the coming into operation of these Regulations who elects for the civil service scheme.

(2) Where—

(a) a person to whom this Regulation applies has before his appointment as Commissioner rendered service to which the civil service scheme applies; and

(b) during that service he has ceased to be employed in an established capacity and become employed in an unestablished capacity in such circumstances that any superannuation allowance or additional allowance granted to him may be increased in accordance with the provisions of section 13 of the Superannuation Act 1965,

that Act shall apply as if his service as Commissioner were service in an unestablished capacity in the civil service of the State.

(3) Where, in the case of a person to whom this Regulation applies, the Superannuation Act 1965 applies as if his service as Commissioner were service in an established capacity in the civil service of the State, and he notifies the Treasury that he desires that on a date specified in the notification section 13 of that Act shall apply to him, then he shall be treated for the purposes of that Act as if he had ceased on that date to be a civil servant and had immediately re-entered the civil service to serve in an unestablished capacity.
