5. Whereas by the Colonial Governors (Pensions) Acts, 1865 and 1872, provision is made for retiring pensions to persons who have administered the government of any of Her Majesty's Colonies, and it is expedient to extend the said Acts to Her Majesty's High Commissioner in Cyprus: Be it therefore enacted as follows:
A pension may be granted in pursuance and subject to the provisions of the Colonial Governors (Pensions) Acts, 1865 and 1872, as amended by this or any other Act, to a person who has, either before or after the passing of this Act, administered the government of Cyprus as Her Majesty's High Commissioner, and those Acts shall apply as if Cyprus were a colony within the meaning thereof, and were within Her Majesty's dominions.
6. For the purposes of this Act a person shall be deemed to be employed in the permanent civil service of a colony if he holds any such permanent office in the service of Her Majesty in the government of any colony as qualifies him to receive a pension out of the revenues of such colony.
7. A person shall not receive a pension under the Colonial Governors (Pensions) Acts, 1865 and 1872, or this Act, and also under section twelve of the Superannuation Act, 1859.

8. The expressions "permanent civil service of the state," permanent civil service of Her Majesty," and " permanent civil service of the Crown," are hereby declared to have the same meaning, and this Act and any enactment relating to salaries ‘and pensions shall be construed accordingly.

12. And whereas it will be for the Advantage of the Public Service that Officers holding Employments entitling them to Superannuation Allowances under this or other Acts shall be eligible for other Public Employments at home and abroad, with- out forfeiting their Claims to such Allowances :
Every Officer already or hereafter to be transferred from Em- ployment entitling him to Superannuation Allowance to Public Employment under the Crown not so entitling him shall be entitled, on his ultimate Retirement from the Public Service, to the same Allowance as if he had continued to hold the vacated Appointment and at the same Rate of Salary as when the same

was vacated, subject nevertheless to the Conditions which would in that Case have been applicable with respect to the Grant of anch Allowance; provided that it shall be lawful for the Com- missioners of the Treasury, in the Case of Officers transferred to Governorships and Lieutenant-Governorships of Colonies, and other high Offices abroad, conferred for a limited Period, to grant such Superannuation Allowance to such Officers on the Expiration of such Term of Service without a Renewal of Public Employ- ment; but any Officer to whom such Grant is made while under the Age of Sixty Years shall be subject to the same Liability to be called upon to fill Office under the Crown, as herein provided concerning other Persons under that Age to whom like Allowances are granted.
