  "text": "(1) Subject to regulations F5, F6 and F7, to G1 (Commutation) and to H1 (Early Retirement), the provisions of this regulation shall have effect for the purpose of calculating the annual amount of a pension payable to a person under regulation F3.\n(2) For each year of which the whole or any part was comprised in the person’s aggregate period of reckonable service as a participating office holder the following amounts shall be calculated—\n(a) an amount equal to the sums deducted under regulation D2 or section 4 of the 1972 Act in respect of that year from the person’s salary (within the meaning of that regulation or section), and\n(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount which fell to be deducted under regulation D1 or section 3(2) of the 1972 Act from a participating Member’s ordinary salary in respect of that year,\nand for each such year there shall be calculated the amount (referred to in these Regulations, in relation to any such year, as “the contribution factor” for that year) which is equal to the amount calculated under sub-paragraph (a) divided by the amount calculated under sub-paragraph (b) of this paragraph.\n(3) For each such year as is mentioned in paragraph (2) of this regulation a contribution credit shall be calculated by multiplying the appropriate fraction of the relevant terminal salary by the amount of the contribution factor for that year; and, subject to regulation G1 the annual amount of the pension payable to the person under regulation F3 shall be an amount equal to the aggregate of the contribution credits calculated under this paragraph.\n(4) In this regulation “the relevant terminal salary”—\n(a) if the person’s actual period of reckonable service as a participating office holder was twelve months or more, means the amount of a Member’s ordinary salary for the last twelve months (whether continuous or discontinuous) comprised in that actual period of reckonable service; and\n(b) if the person’s actual period of reckonable service as a participating office holder was less than twelve months, means an amount calculated by taking the amount of a Member’s ordinary salary for the period (whether continuous or discontinuous) which constituted that actual period of reckonable service and multiplying it by the appropriate figure;\nand in sub-paragraph (b) of this paragraph “the appropriate figure” means the figure (whether being a whole number or not) by which the number of days comprised in the person’s actual period of reckonable service as a participating office holder must be multiplied in order to be equal to twelve months.\n(5) In paragraph (3) of this regulation “the appropriate fraction” means—\n(a) in relation to the year beginning with 1st April 1984 and subsequent years, one-fiftieth;\n(b) in relation to the year beginning with 1st April 1982 and previous years, one-sixtieth; and\n(c) in relation to the year beginning with 1st April 1983—\n(i) in the case of a person who held a qualifying office at some time in the period beginning with 1st April 1983 and ending with 19th July 1983 but did not hold such an office at any time in the period beginning with 20th July and ending with 31st March 1984, one-sixtieth;\n(ii) in the case of a person who did not hold such an office at any time in the first of those periods but did hold such an office at some time in the second of those periods, one fiftieth; and\n(iii) in the case of a person who held such an office at some time in each of those periods, nineteen-thousandths.\n(6) In paragraphs (2), (3) and (5) of this regulation “year” (except in the expression “sixty-five years”) means a period of twelve months beginning with 1st April.",
