Explanatory note

These Regulations provide (in Regulation 3) for the review and compounding of compensation payable under the Redundant Associations Officers Compensation Regulations 1967 to non-pensionable employees who have reached retiring age. Regulation 4 and the Schedule set out the tables to be used in putting an annual value on a capital sum (and the converse) for the purposes of the 1967 Regulations. The Regulations also amend the 1967 Regulations, the principal amendments being to provide—

1. (i)

   that references to annual emoluments include the money value of free accommodation (including goods and services) (Regulation 5(1)(a)), and that references to relevant employment include certain war service in the case of an Association officer who became such before 1st December 1950 (Regulation 5(1)(c) and (d)), and

2. (ii)

   that an Association officer transferred to the civil service who fails to establish his fitness for a permanent appointment therein may be treated as having lost his employment as an Association officer.
