THE GOVERNORS' PENSION SCHEME

=1/25

Messrs Williams, Morehouse and Stock of ODA met Messrs Hawkins and Gealy and Miss Dunleavy on 9 July to discuss the provisions of the draft pensions scheme for Governors. A number of points were

resolved at the meeting but the following items were left for the further action indicated below.

1.

Relationship to the PCSPS

Since the proposed scheme under the Overseas Pensions Act cannot amend the PCSPS, some of the provisions of the Governors' Scheme will require parallel amendments to be made to the PCSPS. Detailed provisions will depend upon the mechanics of paying Governors' pensions. ODM undertook to provide further information in this context.

2. Injury and Compensation Benefits

The inclusion of these benefits in the scheme would represent a major policy change. CSD were seeking Treasury advice on the financial implications of this change, and then intend to refer these provisions, and also the extension of death-in-service benefits, to higher authority.

3.

Qualifying Period Rule 2.1

CSD need to clear this provision with Inland Revenue before it can be accepted.
