This Order, which comes into force on 11th April 1988, revokes the War Pensions (Indian Seamen, etc.) Scheme 1944 and the War Pensions (Chinese Seamen, etc.) Scheme 1944 in order to remove provisions under which the rate of war pension payable to certain non-British seamen employed on British ships is lower than that payable to British seamen.
