(b)
is so re-employed with reduced emoluments,
he shall be deemed for the purposes of these regulations, in the former case, to have suffered loss of employment which is attributable to the passing of that Act owing to the abolition of his office at the date of the refusal to re-employ him or employ him as aforesaid, and, in the latter case, to have suffered diminution of emoluments which is attributable to the passing of that Act.
