HC Deb 30 November 1911 vol 32 cc712-3

(1) If an insured person, being a member of an approved society, ceases to be a member of that society, whether voluntarily or by expulsion, and fails to become a member of another approved society, then—

  1. (a) if he becomes a deposit contributor, his transfer value shall be carried to his credit in the Post Office fund: Provided that if a reserve value is credited to the society in respect of him, that reserve value shall be 713 cancelled and the difference between the transfer value and the reserve value shall be carried to the credit of the depositor;
  2. (b) if he does not become a deposit contributor, his transfer value shall be carried to such account and dealt with in such manner as may be prescribed.

(2) If an insured person who is a deposit contributor subsequently becomes a member of an approved society for the purposes of this Part of this Act, there shall be transferred to the society the amount standing to his credit in the Post Office fund:

Provided that—

  1. (a) if that amount exceeds the value of the contributions paid by or in respect of him estimated on the assumption that he had been a member of an approved society since his entry into insurance, the excess shall not be transferred to the society but shall be carried to the credit of the Post Office fund;
  2. (b) if that amount is less than such value the insured person shall be treated as being in arrear to the amount of the deficiency.
