Regulation 7
This Regulation shall apply to a teacher—
in whose case the Secretary of State is of the opinion that, if he had not ceased to be employed in reckonable service, Regulation 3 or 4 would have applied to him, and
who has paid contributions in accordance with Regulation 31 of the principal Regulations (contributions for current added years) in respect of a period beginning on or after 1st April 1979 and ending before 1st September or 1st October 1980, as the case may be.
In the case of such a teacher Regulation 9(2) of the principal Regulations (average salary) shall have effect as if the salary there referred to were, as respects such a period, what it would have been if it had been determined for the purposes of Regulation 31 of the principal Regulations on the hypotheses set out in Regulation 3 or, as the case may be, Regulation 4.
