The Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 (Modification) (Teachers) Regulations 1972
These regulations modify section 8(2) of the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971, which specifies the date on which an annual pension is deemed to begin for the purposes of that Act, in its application to teachers who retired before 9th November 1965 after an absence from contributory service of more than five years in employment covered by payment of superannuation contributions based on the salary paid before the absence began. They direct that the pension of such a teacher is to be deemed to have begun on the first day of that employment.
