2.1 A Governor is eligible for a pension under this Scheme if the period of his
service as a Governor or, if immediately before his appointment as a Governor he
was employed in the home civil service or diplomatic service or oversea civil
service, that period added to the period of his service in the home civil service
or diplomatic service or overseas civil service, amounts to not less than five
years and:
a. he retires from service as a Governor after attaining the age of
fifty; or
having retired from service as a Governor before attaining that age,
he subsequently attains that age; or
C. while serving as a Governor, he has in the opinion of the Secretary
of State become incapable of discharging the duties of his office by
reason of some infirmity of mind or body which is likely to be permanent;
or
a.
while serving as a Governor, his office is abolished.
2.2. If a Governor is eligible under this Scheme for the grant of a pension by
reason of the abolition of his office, his office shall be deemed not to have been
abolished until the termination of any period of leave to which he had become
entitled while in office and in respect of which he is paid a salary attributable
to his service as a Governor by the government of the territory of which he was a
Governor.
2.3. For the purposes of paragraph 3.2 of this Scheme no account shall be taken
of any period of service in the oversea civil service in respect of which a
Governor was in receipt of a pension during his service as a Governor.
Re-employment as a Governor

Where a Governor to whom a pension has been granted under this Scheme serves
again as a Governor for such time and such pensionable emoluments that the pension
would have been greater if granted after instead of before that service, the
Minister may increase the yearly amount of the pension to what it would have been if the pension had been granted at the end of that service.
