where before lst April 1972 he last paid pension contributions at a rate related to 5% of his pensionable pay, for the purpose of avoiding the application of paragraphs 2 and 3 of Part II of Schedule 2 to the 1973 scheme; and
in any other case, for the purpose of avoiding the application of paragraph 3 of that Part.
