6.—(1) Where paragraph 3 requires the Secretary of State to make any payment the Secretary of State shall also, on the same date, make a payment in respect of any interest which has accrued on and has been added to, or which is to accrue on, the outstanding balance of the Table A amount in respect of which paragraph 3 requires the Secretary of State to make payments, and the amount of any payment under this sub-paragraph shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions of this paragraph.

(2) The amount of any payment to be made under sub-paragraph (1) shall be such amount as is determined by the Secretary of State after consultation with the actuaries and notified to the persons administering the section.

(3) The Secretary of State shall make a determination on or before 14 March in each year in relation to the payments to be made under sub-paragraph (1) from 13 April in that year to 13 April in the following year, and shall, so far as reasonably practicable, determine the amounts so that the payments to be made each month during the period of 12 months from that 13 April are equal.

(4) If, from 13 April in the year in which the determination referred to in sub-paragraph (3) is made to 13 April in the following year, the payments made under sub-paragraph (1) are less than the interest which has accrued under paragraph 4 on the outstanding balance of the Table A amount in respect of which the payments have been made the Secretary of State shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, pay an amount equal to the shortfall; and where the payments made under sub-paragraph (1) exceed the interest which has accrued under paragraph 4 on such outstanding balance, the excess shall be deducted from any other amount payable to the persons administering the section under this Order.
