Regulation 7 Preservation of previous pension rights

Where immediately before the date of transfer any person to whom this part of these regulations applies was in receipt of a superannuation allowance under the Superannuation Acts in respect of a previous period of employment in the civil service of the State, or under the Asylum Officers' Superannuation Act, 1909, in respect of a previous period of employment as an established officer or servant in a hospital, and by reason of his being employed in the civil service of the State after the date of transfer such superannuation allowance has ceased to be payable to him either in whole or in part, the Postmaster-General may pay to him out of moneys provided by Parliament, so long as he remains employed in the civil service of the State, a pension equal to the amount of such superannuation allowance which has ceased to be payable to him as aforesaid.
