  "text": "These Rules provide for the preservation of the superannuation rights of persons who change their employment in either direction between pensionable teaching service and pensionable local government employment in England and Wales; with modifications and drafting amendments, they continue in respect of service pensionable under the Teachers' Superannuation Regulations 1967 to 1970 the arrangements formerly applicable to service pensionable under the Teachers (Superannuation) Acts 1925 to 1956 by virtue of the Superannuation (Teaching and Local Government) Interchange Rules 1961, which are revoked.\nThe principal changes from the previous Rules are:—\n(a) provision is made enabling the period between employments to be extended (rule 4(2));\n(b) in certain cases on transfer from teaching service to local government employment interest is required to be paid, and on transfer from local government employment to teaching service may be required to be paid, on contributions made by a person in his previous employment, returned to him on his leaving that employment and required by the Rules to be again paid by him (rules 5(2) and 14(2)); and\n(c) certain teachers who have elected to return to the local government scheme are enabled to retain their rights as designated employees in that scheme (rule 25).\nThe Rules may have retrospective effect in certain cases under the express power of, and subject to the safeguards required by, section 2(5) of the Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1948.",
