§ "(1) If in consequence of an amalgamation scheme or of anything done thereunder, any person who, immediately before the date when the scheme came into force, was an officer employed by a constituent authority or by a joint police committee, suffers direct pecuniary loss by reason of the determination of his appointment or the diminution of his emoluments, he shall, unless provision for his compensation for that loss is made by or under any other enactment for the time being in force, be entitled to receive compensation under this section from such constituent authority or joint police committee as may be determined by or under that scheme.
§ (2) Any person who, immediately before the date on which an amalgamation scheme 1103 came into force, was an officer employed by a constituent authority or by a joint police committee and who, at any time within five years after the said date,
- (a) has his services dispensed with or his emoluments reduced, otherwise than on the ground of misconduct; or
- (b) relinquishes office by reason of his having been required to perform duties which are not analogous or which are an unreasonable addition to those which he was required to perform immediately before that date
§ (3) For the purposes of the determination and payment of compensation under this section the provisions of the Second Schedule to the Rating (Scotland) Act, 1926, and of paragraph (i) of Subsection (1) of Section seven of the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1929, shall be incorporated with this section subject to such modifications as the Secretary of State may by order prescribe for the purpose of adapting those provisions to claims under this section."—[Mr. T.
