Regulation 24 Reciprocal arrangements with other pension authorities

(1)

The Board may, on such terms as the Commissioners may approve, enter into reciprocal arrangements with the authority controlling and administering any pensions scheme providing for pensions for persons in the service of the Crown, or of any government department or any public or local body, board or authority in England or elsewhere, or providing for pensions for the widows, widowers, children or dependants of such persons, and any such arrangements may provide that—

(a)

any scheme member who after performing pensionable service within the meaning of these regulations enters such service, may, if the Board so determine, be transferred to the pensions scheme of that other authority; and

(b)

any scheme member who after being in such service begins to perform pensionable service within the meaning of these regulations may retain, in such manner and to such extent as the reciprocal arrangements may provide, any right to or expectation of a pension which the member may already have acquired, whether for the member or for the widow, widower, children or dependants of the member.

(2)

A scheme member transferred under this regulation to the pensions scheme of another authority shall, as from the date of transfer, cease to have any right to receive at any time a pension under these regulations, and the widow or widower, children and dependants of the member shall also cease to have any right to receive at any time a pension under these regulations, except that the Board shall have power, on such terms and conditions as the Board may think expedient, to restore to the scheme member the rights which he previously had under these regulations.
