H.K. Pension Law Being

Amended

POWER TO DISALLOW WILL BE AFFECTED

The Gazette contains the draft oi in Ordinance to amend further the Jaw relating to pensions.

It is explained that Clause 2 of this Bill when eneted will repent. sub-section (2) of section 5 of the principal "Ordinance, No. 21 of 1932, which provided that no officer would be granted a pension, gratuity or other allowance without a certificate from an appropriate superior officer to the effect that he has discharged the duties of his office with such diligence and delity as to justify the grant.

WO3

That provision which is to be found in the majority of Colonial Pension laws was derived from section 8 of the Superannuation Act, 1850, (23 Vict. c. 26),

which

reprales! recently by section 5 of the Super- annuation Act, 1935 (25 and 20 Geo. 5, c. 23). A corresponding repeat In Colonial legislation lins been request- ed by the Secretary of State in paragraph 7 of his circular despute of the 4th January, 1930,

5.

The effect of the repeal will be that the position will then be governed by the further provision, which is con- tained in section 5 (3). of the

prin cipal Ordinance, that where it is established to the satisfaction of the Governor in Council that an office. has been guilty of negligence, irregu- larity or misconduct, the pension, gratulty or other allowance may be reduced or altogether withheld,

Clause 3 will delete from section 9 of the principal Ordinance the refer- ence to the approval of the Secretar of State, which deletion was suggest- ed in paragraph.0 of the Circular despatch.

The Secretary of Stato wishes it to be understood that the practice of submitting such withholdings or re- ductions to him for approval shall be. continued in the case of officers ap- pointed by him or whose appoint- ments are subject to his general or special approval, but that it will be unnecessary to continue it in the ense of subordinate local oficials who are appointed by the Colonial Govern- ment.
