HC Deb 25 May 1971 vol 818 c293

Queen's Recommendation having been signified—

Resolved, That, for the purposes of any Act of the present Session relating to pensions payable in respect of government and other official or related service, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of moneys provided by Parliament of any expenditure incurred by government departments, and of any addition to the sums so payable under any other enactment, where the expenditure or addition results from provisions included in the Act with respect to any pensions other than Service pensions for the purpose—

  1. (a) of adjusting pensions to any altered circumstances after the end of the relevant employment: or
  2. (b) of securing that in the event of a person's re-employment after a pension has or may become payable in respect of his earlier employment, any pension payable by reason of the employment and re-employment, when taken with any increases under the Act, either exceeds or is not less than it would have been without the re-employment.
'Pension' for this purpose comprises all forms of pension benefit in respect of service in any office or employment, including lump sums, and including benefits in the nature of compensation for loss of office or diminuation of emoluments.—[Mr. Patrick Jenkin.]
