(a)a person is seconded from an employing authority (“the sending employing authority”) to another body which is not an employing authority (“the other body”), and
(b)that person, pursuant to an intention of the sending employing authority, remains an employee of that authority in circumstances where that person’s performance of services pursuant to a qualifying contract for the other body counts as pensionable service only by reason of that retention arrangement.
