  "text": "These Rules consolidate with amendments the previous sets of rules governing the allocation of part of a pension under the Superannuation Acts in favour of a spouse or other dependant. They extend eligibility to allocate to officers who retire before reaching their retiring age in circumstances which make them eligible for the grant of a pension when they reach their retiring age: such officers become eligible to allocate as from the date on which their pension is granted.\nUnder the powers in paragraph 5(6) of Schedule 2 to the Superannuation (Amendment) Act 1965, an officer who retired in the circumstances described above and whose pension was granted before 29th April 1965, the date of coming into force of the Schedule, becomes eligible to make an allocation with effect from the date on which he lodges an allocation declaration in accordance with the Rules.",
