Subject to subsection (2) of this section, the Superannuation Act 1965 shall have effect as if in section 18(1) (which provides for the grant of gratuities or allowances where civil servants and others suffer injury or disease in certain circumstances) after paragraph (a) (which deals with injuries suffered in the actual discharge of duty where the injury is specifically attributable to the nature of the duty) there were inserted the following paragraph:—.

No warrant of the Treasury under the said section 18 shall permit the award of a gratuity or allowance by virtue of subsection (1) of this section—

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sections 25(3) and 26(2) of the Superannuation Act 1965 (which relate to the computation of service and reduction of retiring age in certain cases), and the definition of " retiring age " in section 99(1) of that Act, shall have effect, and be deemed always to have had effect, with the substitution for the words " sections 7 and 10 " of the words " sections 7, 10, 45(3) and 46(1)".

Where, in the case of any person who after the passing of this Act becomes the holder of an office to which this section applies, there is payable to that person any pension in respect of any other public office in the United Kingdom to which he had previously been appointed or elected, then, subject to subsection (2) of this section, the remuneration which would apart from this section be payable to that person as holder of the first-mentioned office shall be abated by the amount of that pension.

Where the Treasury are satisfied that the office to which this section applies held by any such person is held on a part-time basis only, the reference in subsection (1) of this section to the amount of the pension there referred to shall be construed as a reference to such amount as appears to the Treasury to bear to the full amount of that pension the same proportion as the remuneration payable to that person as the holder of that office bears to what that remuneration would have been if the office had been held on a full-time basis.

For the purpose of computing the pension payable to any such person in respect of the office to which this section applies held by him and any derivative benefit within the meaning of the Administration of Justice (Pensions) Act 1950 which depends upon his eligibility for such a pension, the amount of that person's annual remuneration as the holder of that office shall, notwithstanding that the remuneration is abated by reason of this section, be treated as the amount which would be payable apart from this section and not the amount as so abated.

This section applies to the following judicial and related offices, that is to say—

Subsection (3) of section 1 of the Governors' Pensions Act 1957 (which specifies the circumstances in which a Governor is eligible for a pension under that Act) shall have effect subject to the following amendment (being an amendment to remove any doubt arising from the provision made by subsection (2) of that section that references in that Act to a Governor include, except where the context otherwise requires, references to a person who has been a Governor), that is to say, for paragraphs (a) to (c) of the said subsection (3) there shall be substituted the following:—

For the purposes of the grant of a pension under the said Act of 1957 to a Governor who is eligible therefor 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.

For the purposes of section 2(2) of the said Act of 1957 (which provides, in the case of a Governor who was previously employed in the oversea civil service, for calculating his pension by reference to the completed months of his service in the oversea civil service as well as of his service as a Governor), no account shall be taken of any period of service in the oversea civil service in respect of which he was in receipt of a pension during his service as a Governor.

In section 4 of the said Act of 1957 (which relates to a case where a person to whom a pension has been granted under that Act becomes entitled to any salary or emolument in respect of certain public employment) for the words from " the pension " onwards (which provide for the pension to be reduced by one-half of the amount of any such salary or emolument other than another pension) there shall be substituted the words " then, unless or except to the extent that the Secretary of State with the consent of the Treasury determines otherwise—

Where, in pursuance of rules under section 14 of the said Act of 1957 (which relates to the allocation of part of a pension under that Act to a spouse or dependant), a person has surrendered a part of a pension granted to him under that Act in return for the benefits of the rules, then, if for any period the amount of the pension payable apart from the surrender is, by virtue of section 4 of that Act, less than the amount of the part surrendered, the Treasury shall be entitled to recover from that person in respect of that period, whether by deduction from his salary or emolument in the employment by reason of which the pension is reduced under the said section 4 or otherwise, an amount equal to the part so surrendered or, as the case may be, to the difference between that part and so much of the pension as, apart from the surrender, is payable for that period.

Where a Governor who is, or subject to attaining the age of fifty will be, eligible for a pension under the said Act of 1957 becomes employed in the home civil service in an established capacity within twelve months or such longer period as the Treasury may in any particular case allow after ceasing to serve as a Governor, he may elect that, instead of his being granted a pension under the said Act of 1957, the Superannuation Act 1965 shall apply to him as if his service as a Governor had been passed in the home civil service.

An order by the Treasury under subsection (3) of section 3 or subsection (2) of section 9 of the said Act of 1957 specifying for the purposes of the said section 3 or 9 another sum to be substituted for that referred to in subsections (1) and (2) of the said section 3 or, as the case may be, in subsection (1) of the said section 9 in connection with the maximum amount of a Governor's pension or of the gratuity payable in respect of a Governor's death, as the case may be, may be made so as to have effect from a date earlier than the date of the making of the order.

Any expression used in this section which is also used in the said Act of 1957 shall have the same meaning for the purposes of this section as it has for the purposes of that Act.

Any payment under subsection (1) or (2) of this section after the passing of this Act shall be made by the Minister of Overseas Development.

The provisions of subsections (2) and (3) of this section shall have effect with respect to regulations under section 67(1) of the National Health Service Act 1946 (which relates to the provision of superannuation benefits).

Where on the death of any person any sum not exceeding £500 is due to or in respect of that person under the regulations, the Minister of Health (hereafter in this section referred to as " the Minister") may dispense with proof of the title of the personal representatives of that person and pay that sum to the person, or to or among any one or more of any persons, appearing to the Minister on such evidence as he deems satisfactory to be entitled by law to a beneficial interest therein, or in the case of the illegitimacy of the deceased person or his children to or among such persons as the Minister may think fit, and any person to whom such a payment is made, and not the Minister, shall thereafter be liable to account for any amount so paid; and this subsection shall be included among the provisions with respect to which the Treasury may make an order under section 6(1) of the Administration of Estates (Small Payments) Act 1965 substituting for references to £500 references to such higher amount as may be specified in the order.

Where under the regulations any question is referred to the Minister for determination, then, at any stage of the proceedings on that reference, the Minister may (and if so directed by the High Court shall) state in the form of a special case for determination by the High Court any question of law arising in those proceedings; and where such a case is so stated an appeal to the Court of Appeal from the determination by the High Court shall lie only with the leave of the High Court or of the Court of Appeal.

Section 18(2) of the National Health Service (Amendment) Act 1949 (which provides that the terms and conditions on which officers of certain hospitals may be admitted to participate in the superannuation benefits provided under such regulations as are mentioned in subsection (1) of this section shall be designed to secure that the aggregate payments made by the governing body of the hospital and by the officers are equivalent to the sums paid out of moneys provided by Parliament in respect of the superannuation benefits provided for the officers) is hereby repealed.

Where any person while continuing in or, within twelve months after leaving employment in which he was entitled to participate in superannuation benefits provided under the said section 10 (any period spent by that person on an approved course of study or training within the meaning of regulations made under that section being left out of account), enters such other employment as may be approved by the Minister for the purposes of this subsection, the Minister may direct that regulations so made shall, subject to such modifications as may be provided in the direction, apply to that person as if, while in that other employment, he were, within the meaning of those regulations, an officer in the employment of an employing authority, and in that event those regulations shall apply accordingly.

A direction under subsection (1) or (2) of this section may be expressed to take effect as from the date of a person’s entry into employment notwithstanding that the direction, or the approval of that employment for the purposes of the said subsection (2), was not given until after that date.

A direction given, or deemed under subsection (6) of this section to have been given, under subsection (1) or (2) of this section shall not be varied or revoked by a subsequent direction so as to exclude from the benefits provided under the said section 10 any person previously entitled thereto unless— and where the subsequent direction results in such an exclusion of any such person, it may contain provision for the payment of a transfer value in respect of that person.
