Explanatory Note.
(This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general purport).
Regulation 2 of these regulations amends the Pensions Regulations (the principal regulations) by adding to them a new regulation 18B. This new regulation is rendered desirable by the recent revision of salaries. It provides that where the pansion or gratuity of an officer is computed on the basis of the average of bis pensionable emoluments during the three years prior to his retirement, his pensionable emoluments for this purpose shall be taken as those which he would have enjoyed had he been subject to the new rates of pay at the beginning of that period. This new regulation is made retrospective to 1st October, 1953, the date from which the revised scale of pay and allowance has been brought into effect.
Regulation 3 of these regulations amenda regulation 26(7) of the principal regulations, which provides for the grant of a gratuity to a monthly paid non-pensionable officer who retires with less than 10 years service. The purpose of the amendment is to clarify the present wording of this paragraph by specifying that eligibility for such gratuity in dependent upon retirement in the same circumstances as would quality the officer for an annual allowance had be completed ten years' Bervice.
