The Scotland Act 1998 (Transitory and Transitional Provisions) (Scottish Parliamentary Pension Scheme) Order 1999

Amount payable to “dual mandate” pensioners

F4.—(1) This article applies to a pensioner who, for part of his actual period of reckonable service as a participant, also received a salary pursuant to a resolution (or combination of resolutions) of either House of Parliament relating to the remuneration of members of that House or under section 1 of the European Parliament (Pay and Pensions) Act 1979(1).

(2) The period mentioned in paragraph (1) is referred to in this article as the pensioner’s “period of dual mandate”.

(3) For the purpose of calculating the annual amount of a pension payable to a pensioner to whom this article applies–

(a)where his final salary is calculated in accordance with article F3(2) by reference to a period of dual mandate, the pensioner’s aggregate period of reckonable service shall, for the purpose of article F3(1), be multiplied by three in respect of any part of his aggregate period of reckonable service that was not part of his period of dual mandate; and

(b)where his final salary is calculated in accordance with article F3(2) by reference to an actual period of reckonable service that was not a period of dual mandate, the pensioner’s aggregate period of reckonable service shall, for the purpose of article F3(1), be divided by three in respect of any part of his aggregate period of reckonable service that was a period of dual mandate.
