(2)

Regulations 90, 91 and 93 shall have effect in the case of a serviceman who ceased to serve as a regular police officer in order to undertake a period of relevant service in the reserve forces only if the serviceman pays or has paid pension contributions (other than additional or further pension contributions) to the police authority of that serviceman’s former force, as though that serviceman had remained a regular police officer in that force, in respect of that serviceman’s period of relevant service in the reserve forces:

Provided that those regulations shall have effect notwithstanding that pension contributions are not or have not been paid as aforesaid by a serviceman in respect of any period during which that serviceman’s service pay is less than that serviceman’s pensionable pay.

that serviceman’s liability to make those contributions to the police authority shall continue during such period of relevant service in the reserve forces; and

regulation 60 shall apply as if, after the words “Part 4” in paragraph (1) of that regulation, there were inserted the words “or Part 9 (servicemen)”,
