4The following subsection shall be inserted after section 43(2) of that Act—
“(2A)For the purposes of this Act any period of an earner’s service in an employment is linked qualifying service in relation to a later period of service (whether in the same or another employment) if—
(a)under the rules of a scheme applying to him in the earlier period of service there was made a transfer of his accrued rights under that scheme to another scheme applying to him in the later period of service; and
(b)in consequence of that transfer, there are (or were) allowed to him transfer credits under the rules of that other scheme,
except that, for any service to be taken into account as linked qualifying service, it must be actual service and no regard shall be had to any scheme rule which provides for service to be treated for any purposes of benefit or otherwise as longer or shorter than it actually was.”.
5In section 66(1) of that Act (interpretation)—
(a)in the definition of “linked qualifying service” for “38(4)” there shall be substituted “43(2A)”; and
(b)the following definition shall be substituted for the definition of “transfer credits”—
