HC Deb 03 August 1922 vol 157 cc1871-3

(1) Non-contributing service shall be reckoned for determining whether an officer or servant is entitled to a superannuation allowance under this Act, and in calculating the superannuation allowance of any officer or servant who is so entitled, his allowance in respect of his non-contributing service shall be at the rate of one one-hundred-and-twentieth (or in the case in which the local authority by special resolution so decide at such rateas the local authority may determine not exceeding the rate of one-sixtieth) of the average amount of his salary or wages for the last five years of his service or aggregate service in respect of each year (not exceeding forty years) of his service, and in reckoning the non-contributing service of any officer or servant any portion of a year during which such officer or servant has served for more than six months shall be reckoned as a year:

Provided that the amount of any superannuation allowance granted in respect of non-contributing service, so far as it exceeds one-hundred-and-twentieth of such average amount as aforesaid in respect, of each year of service, shall not be paid out of the superannuation fund but shall he chargeable upon the same rates and revenues as those upon which the salary or wages of the officer or servant to whom the allowance is granted are charged.

(2) In the case of an officer or servant of a local authority adopting this Act, no period of service with any other local authority shall be reckoned for the purposes of this Act unless such officer or servant shall within six months from the appointed day prove to the reasonable satisfaction of the local authority employing such officer or servant that he has been in the service of any such authority:

Provided that no service shall be so reckoned in respect of which an officer or servant is entitled to any superannuation allowance or gratuity other than a superannuation allowance or gratuity under this Act.

(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Act an officer or servant who has served successfully as a teacher and on an administrative staff shall have the years of service which would be recognised under any Act for the time being relating to the superannuation of school teachers recognised for the purposes of this Act as if such service had been wholly on an administrative staff:

Provided that any such last-mentioned officer or servant shall not he entitled to any greater superannuation allowance from the local authority under this Act than shall he sufficient, together with any superannuation allowance under any such Act as aforesaid, to make up the amount to which he would have been entitled had his service been wholly on the administrative staff of such local authority, and for the purpose of this section account shall be taken in such manner as the Minister of Health shall prescribe of any capital sum paid or payable to the officer or servant under the provisions of any such Act.
