Every person to whom these Regulations apply, being a person who was immediately before the date of change a member of a pension fund held for the purposes of a pension scheme to which these Regulations apply or a member of the Society, as the case may be, may, with the consent of the Committee in whom the management of the fund or society is vested and the approval of the Commission, continue to be a member thereof so long as he remains in the service of the Authority and to be treated as having been such on and after the date of change in all respects as if his service with the Authority were service with the Commission.

6. The Commission shall not be liable to make any contribution or payment to the fund in respect of any person to whom these Regulations apply, being a person who continues to be a member of a pension fund held for the purposes of a pension scheme to which these Regulations apply or of the Society and to be treated as having been such on and after the date of change for any period commencing with the date of change and ending with the date on which he ceases to be in the service of the Authority.
