Explanatory Note.

Under the provisions of the Pensione Regulations A and B made under the Pensions Ordinance, 1932, the service of officers of the Education Department which was pensionable under the Tenchers (Superannuation) Act, 1926, was for pension purposes deemed pensionable service in à Scheduled Government. No such provision has been include under the present Pension Regulations made under the new Pensione Ordinance (Cap. 89). The option exercised by an officer who accepted the revised terms of service under the Salaries Revision, 1947. provided that the pension payable to such officer should be governed by the new Pensions Ordinance. it subsequently appeared that certain officers of the Education Department in exercising their option were not aware that in so doing their previoge service pensionable under the Teachers (Superannuation) Act, 1925, could no longer be taken into account for pension purposes as service under a Scheduled Government, It is considered in the "circumstances that such previous service of these officers should be permitted to be taken into account as service in a Scheduled Government. Regulation 2 of these regulations affects this purpose in respect of the officers specified in the Schedule to these regulations. The regulations are made retrospective to the date of the commencement of the Pentions Ordinance and the Pensions Regulations.
