(2)Where, before the said 1st April, a person’s employment to which this paragraph applies was terminated and a payment made to him in respect of the termination in accordance with the M6Superannuation Act 1965 or any enactment repealed by that Act or in accordance with a scheme made under section 1 of the M7Superannuation Act 1972, or under such arrangements as were mentioned (before it was repealed) in section 41(3) of the M8Redundancy Payments Act 1965, then, whether or not he was re-employed in employment to which this paragraph applies immediately following that termination, Schedule 1 to the Act of 1965 shall have effect as if the period of his employment before that termination in employment to which this paragraph applies did not count as a period of employment with the CAA.

(7)This paragraph applies to employment of a person in the civil service of the State and to employment of a person therein in part-time service where he gives personal service of at least twenty-one hours a week and the remuneration in respect thereof is defrayed entirely out of money provided by Parliament.
