Explanatory note

The Foreign Compensation (Staff) (Superannuation Benefits) Orders 1964 and 1973 provided for the grant to or in respect of certain officers or servants of the Foreign Compensation Commission the like superannuation benefits as may be granted to or in respect of civil servants. The present Order replaces the Orders of 1964 and 1973 and makes clear in the light of the Social Security Pensions Act 1975 that there is an entitlement to benefit on retirement or death, as well as following termination of service for a reason other than retirement or death.
