a housing allowance or transitional rent allowance payable as mentioned in paragraph 2(2) or 4(2), or

any of the housing emoluments mentioned in paragraphs 3(1), 5(1)(a) and 6,
would, if these Regulations had not come into force, have fallen to be reduced or discontinued, the replacement allowance in question is reduced accordingly or, if the effect of a discontinuance would have been that no housing emoluments remained payable, terminated.
2
For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) it is to be assumed that a housing allowance or transitional rent allowance would not have fallen to be reduced by reason of the member’s being married to or sharing accommodation with another member of a police force appointed after 31 st August 1994.
3
In circumstances in which any allowance or housing emoluments mentioned in subparagraph (1) would, if these Regulations had not come into force, have fallen to be increased otherwise than under regulation 49A of the principal Regulations (which provided for biennial adjustment of housing allowances), or in which any new housing emoluments would in that case have become payable, the replacement allowance in question is increased accordingly.
Removal allowance8
In relation to a qualifying member or a re-joining member who is entitled to a replacement allowance under paragraphs 2 to 5 regulation 53(1) of the principal Regulations has effect as if the words deleted by regulation 10 above had not been deleted, but had continued to have effect with the substitution for references to housing allowance or transitional rent allowance—
a
where paragraph 2 or 4 applies, of references to the replacement allowance, and
b
in any other case, of references to so much of the replacement allowance as is attributable to a previous housing allowance or transitional rent allowance.
