Article 10 Certain transfers not to affect eligibility to join pension schemes

Where by reason of a transfer under section 16, 21(3) or 22(2) of the Act of 1969 a person ceases to be employed by one publicly owned transport body and becomes employed by another such body, or the employer of a person ceases to be a subsidiary of one publicly owned transport body and becomes a subsidiary of another such body, and that person is not, immediately before the transfer, a member of an established scheme, then he shall, notwithstanding the transfer, be eligible to become a member of that established scheme to the same extent and on the same basis as he would have been so eligible if the transfer had not occurred.
