Compensation of employees of the Board in generating stations.

13.—(1) Whenever the Board ceases or has, before the passing of this Act, ceased wholly or partly to use as a generating station any generating station which became vested in it (whether before or after the passing of this Act) by virtue of a vesting order made under section 39 of the Principal Act or by virtue of a conveyance made in pursuance of an agreement entered into under sub-section (2) of section 38 of the Principal Act, the First Schedule to the Principal Act shall apply and (where such cesser occurred before the passing of this Act) be deemed always to have applied to every person who, at the date of such cesser, was employed by the Board in such generating station.

(2) For the purposes of the application of the First Schedule to the Principal Act to persons to whom that Schedule applies by virtue of this section, the following provisions shall have effect, that is to say:—

(a) the Board shall be deemed to be an authorised undertaker, and

(b) the cesser (whether complete or partial) by the Board to use the generating station as a generating station shall be deemed to have taken place in pursuance of an order, made under the Principal Act on the date on which such cesser occurred, requiring the Board to cease (wholly or partly, as the case may require) to use such generating station as a generating station, and

(c) references in the said Schedule to ceasing to use a generating station as a generating station shall be construed as including ceasing in part only to use a generating station as a generating station.
