and will include any officer who is offered appointment on terms which included 90% pensionability and the previously existing vacation leave-earning rates. The phrase excludes the following categories of officer in respect of whom questions of election will not arise: --

(i) officers on pre-retirement leave on 1st October 1966, whose retiring benefits will automatically be calculated by reference to 100% of substantive emoluments:

(ii) officers in receipt of cost of living allowance (see para-

graph 5 above);

(iii) officers on contract terms of service (see paragraph Kü)

above),

8. Where the vacation leave-earning rate of an officer on overseas terms of service alters in mid-tour as a result of the decisions notified in this circular, the leave earned during that tour will be calculated on a pro-rata basis.

9. It is appreciated that the timing of notification of these decisions may result in officers who have gone on vacation leave subsequent to 1st October 1966, being eligible in retrospect for a day or two less leave than originally approved. The lesser amount of the leave will nevertheless be the amount of leave duc, but adjustment arrangements, to the convenience of the officers concerned, will be made in individual cases as they arise.

10. Refunds of Widows and Orphans Pensions Scheme contributions will, as envisaged in paragraph 39 of Establishment Circular 25/66, be made where appropriate.
