  "text": "In regulation E11, after paragraph (1) insert:\n“(1A) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (2), if paragraph (1)(a) applies and the person is a transferred water employee the amount of the death gratuity is, subject to paragraph (1C), the amount ascertained by multiplying the annual rate of his remuneration at the date of his death by two, or the amount of his contributions if greater.\n(1B) For the purposes of paragraph (1A)—\n(a) in ascertaining the annual rate of a person's remuneration at the date of his death—\n(i) the annual rate of any fluctuating element of his remuneration is to be estimated by reference to an average taken over a representative period,\n(ii) the annual rate of any benefit in kind included in his remuneration is to be the estimated annual value of the benefit in kind at the date of his death,\n(iii) if at that date he had no remuneration or his remuneration was reduced because of absence from duty, the annual rate is to be taken to be the annual rate which would have applied if he had not been absent, and\n(iv) if his remuneration is not calculated by reference to an annual rate but by reference to some other rate, the annual rate is to be derived from the applicable rate at the date of his death, and\n(b) the amount of a persons' contributions is the total of—\n(i) the aggregate amount of his contributions to the appropriate superannuation fund, within the meaning of regulation C8, and\n(ii) the amount of his contributions to the Port of London Authority Pension Fund established by section 5 of the Port of London Act 1928.\n(1C) If the person leaves a widow who is entitled to a widow's pension under regulation E5, the amount of the death gratuity is not to exceed the amount by which the capital value of that pension falls short of the capital value of the person's notional retirement pension.\n(1D) For the purposes of paragraph (1C) a person's notional retirement pension is the pension to which he would have become entitled if—\n(a) he had continued to be a transferred water employee until he attained the age of 65 years and had then ceased to be employed by the Thames Water Authority,\n(b) his remuneration had not by then been increased otherwise than in accordance with the terms of the contract of employment as it had effect at the time of his death, and\n(c) regulation E3(1) had applied with the substitution for the words “one eightieth” of the words “one sixtieth”,\nand the capital values of that pension and of the widow's pension are to be calculated by the fund's actuary.”.",
