Paragraph 7A Protection of increases in guaranteed minimum pensions after abolition of contracting-outF1

in section 83(1)(a)(i) (general protection principle), the reference to the time when P ceases to be in pensionable service under a scheme that was, before the second abolition date, a salary-related contracted-out scheme is to be taken as a reference to the time when P ceases to be in pensionable service in relation to this scheme; and

subsequent references to “the cessation date” are to be construed accordingly.
