HC Deb 04 June 1959 vol 606 c496

Resolution reported, That, for the purposes of any Act of the present Session to provide for increases of certain pensions, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of moneys provided by Parliament— A. Of any expenditure by way of—

  1. (a) payments in respect of a pension payable by a Government department; or
  2. (b) any increase in the sums payable under any other enactment out of moneys so provided,
which is attributable to any provision of the said Act of the present Session providing for an increase of a pension, being an increase—
  1. (i) determined in accordance with the provisions of that Act by reference to the annual rate of that pension after any increase thereof under, or by reference to increases under, the Pensions (Increase) Acts of 1920, 1924, 1944, 1947, 1952, 1954, and 1956 other than an increase under section six of the said Act of 1956; or
  2. (ii) such as to secure that, where a person who has been in receipt of a pension has completed further service by virtue of which that pension has fallen (or if that service had been terminated by retirement would have fallen) to be reassesed, that pension and any other pension computed by reference to that pension is not less than it would have been if that further service had not been rendered;
B. Of any increase in the sums payable out of moneys so provided which is attributable to any provision of the said Act of the present Session providing for the Pensions (Increase) Acts of 1920 and 1924 or of 1944 and 1947 to apply to pensions specified in Part I or Part II of the Second Schedule to the Pensions (India, Pakistan and Burma) Act, 1955, as amended; C. Of any increase in the sums payable under any other enactment out of moneys so provided which is attributable to any other provision of the said Act of the present Session relating to pensions payable in respect of service in the police, as a special constable, on the civil staff of the metropolitan police, or as a fireman or police fireman. In this resolution, the expression "pension" has the same meaning as in the Pensions (Increase) Act, 1944.
