“Right of Ministers and others to elect not to accept increase in allowance.
|
8A.—(1) A person who is entitled to be paid an allowance under section 3, 3A or 4 may, by notice in writing given to the Minister for Finance, elect not to accept the amount of an increase of the allowance that would or could otherwise become payable under that section.
(2) Such an election does not affect the application of section 7, or an order made under section 3, 3A or 4, to the remaining part of the allowance whenever the relevant allowance is generally increased.
(3) A person who has made an election under this section may revoke the election by a further notice in writing given to the Minister for Finance, but the revocation has effect only prospectively.
(4) Subject to subsection (3), an election made by a person under this section is not affected by the fact that the person ceases to hold the office to which the allowance relates and the person is subsequently reappointed to that office.”.
