Article 15 Amendment of Article 75 of the principal Scheme

In Article 75 of the principal Scheme (payment of pensions) after paragraph (2) there shall be added the following new paragraph:—

“(3)

Where, by reason of any provision in any instrument which amends a provision of this Scheme—

(a)

a change falls to be made in the rate of any pension which, by virtue of paragraph (1), is payable weekly; and

(b)

the date on which that change would, but for the provisions of this paragraph, fall to be made (hereinafter referred to as “the prescribed date”) is not the day of the week on which payment of pension is normally made (hereinafter referred to as “the weekly pay day”),

the change shall have effect only as from the first weekly pay day immediately following the prescribed date.”.
