service as a Governor or, if immediately before his appointment as a Governor he

or diplomatic service or overseas civil service, amounts to not less than five

fifty; or

b. having retired from service as a Governor before attaining that age,

he subsequently attains that age; or

or

2.

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

Re-employment as a Governor

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.
