Under Regulation 8 of the Fire Services (Pensionable Employment) Regulations, 1948, certain persons formerly in the National Fire Service who became employed under local authorities otherwise than as members of fire brigades are entitled to reckon their time in the National Fire Service up to two years for the purposes of local government superannuation if they pay to the local authority a percentage of the pay received by them in the National Fire Service during that time, and, under Regulation 11, in such cases there is payable by the Secretary of State to the authorities maintaining the appropriate superannuation funds sums based on the National Fire Service pay of those persons. Under these Regulations in any case where the National Fire Service pay of any such person over the relevant period was at a rate higher than that to which he first became entitled under the local authority, the payments to be made both by him and by the Secretary of Statewill be based on his rate of pay under the local authority instead of on the National Fire Service rate.
