(ii) Assume (whether or not that in fact was the case) that the

pensioner had exercised his option under the relevant law to be

paid a commuted pension gratuity at the maximum rate and a correspondingly reduced pension;

(iii) Calculate the amount of the reduced pension;

(iv) Convert the amount of the reduced pension so obtained into

sterling at [the rate of exchange in force on the date on which

the Hong Kong pension was granted] [the average rate of exchange

for 1991 (HK$ 13.76 £1)]. The amount so obtained is the

pensioner's UKPB.

***********

(C) In the case of a pension granted to a dependant of a member

of HMOCS who retired or died during his service after the

publication of the Scheme (other than to windows pensionable

under CAP '94)

(i) identify the salary point and allowances for the substantive

grade of the relevant deceased contributor (or relevant member

of HMOCS) which would, apart from this provision, be taken into

account as the pensionable emoluments of such contributor or

member in calculating the dependant's pension and determine the

salary and allowances appropriate to that salary point of that

grade on 1st January 1992. Calculate the pensionable emoluments

and the dependant's pension by substituting the salary and allowances as at 1st January 1992 for any higher salary

attributable to the contributor or member. The amount so

obtained in respect of the dependant's pension is the dependant's notional Hong Kong pension;

(ii) convert the amount of the NHKP into sterling at the average rate of exchange for 1991 (HK$ 13.76 £1). The amount so

obtained as increased by the increase in the UK retail price

index during the period from 1st January 1992 until the date of

the grant of the pension to the dependant is the dependant

pensioner's UKPB.
