# The Superannuation (Local Government and Federated Schemes Employment) Interchange Rules 1969, Article 3: Meaning of “prescribed period”


(1) Subject to the provisions of these rules, the expression “prescribed period” in rules 4 and 8 means a period of 12 months after the date on which a person left local government employment or, as the case may be, Federated Schemes Employment, and in the case of a person who immediately after leaving such employment became engaged in national service, a period of 6 months after the termination of that service.
(2) The reference in the preceding paragraph to a period of 12 months shall be construed in relation to a person to whom section 6 of the Act of 1948 applies (which makes special provision as to local government superannuation during periods of emergency) as a reference to a period of 5 years or such longer period as the Minister may in any particular case allow.
