# The Superannuation (Fire and Specified Services) Interchange Rules 1972, Paragraph 6


(1) In the case of a person who was entitled to reckon pensionable service, immediately before his retirement from service as a regular fireman, by virtue of a participating period of relevant employment, the sum to be paid by a fire authority under Rule 5, calculated in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Part of this Schedule, shall be reduced by an amount calculated in accordance with paragraph 7.
(2) In this paragraph the expression “participating period of relevant employment” has the meaning assigned to it by the Firemen's Pension Scheme but, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) and for the purposes of the provision applied by paragraph 7(1)(b), a period shall be treated as a participating period of relevant employment notwithstanding that a payment in lieu of contributions (within the meaning of the National Insurance Act 1965) only fell to be made after the person retired from service as a regular fireman.
