Explanatory note

EXPLANATORY NOTE

In order to qualify for compensation on loss of employment or diminution of emoluments under the Local Government (Compensation) Regulations, 1948, an officer must have served in certain prescribed employments for a defined period. These regulations enable an officer to include in the defined period war service following any such prescribed employment, and thus rectify an inadvertent omission from the original regulations.
