Article 10

These rules shall not apply in relation to persons entering or leaving the employment of any Northern Ireland employing authority if the Minister at any time so directs on being satisfied that the pension scheme associated with the employment of persons by that authority does not confer rights in respect of previous pensionable service of persons entering that employment after having ceased to be subject to the Act of 1937 or a local Act scheme which are reasonably equivalent to those conferred by these rules in respect of previous pensionable service of persons leaving employment under a Northern Ireland employing authority and becoming subject to the Act of 1937 or a local Act scheme:

Provided that the Minister may at any time withdraw any such direction as aforesaid which he may have given on being satisfied that the need for the direction no longer exists.
