Explanatory note

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Commonwealth Telegraph (Cable and Wireless Ltd. Pension) Regulations 1962 made provision for Cable and Wireless Ltd. to establish an approved pension scheme for widows or children of certain former male employees of the Company who became employed in the Post Office as a result of the transfer of the United Kingdom assets of the Company into public ownership on the 1st September 1950 and who die prior to retirement from pensionable service in the Post Office. These regulations amend the 1962 regulations so as to enable a pension to be paid to the widow or children whether the employee dies prior to or after his retirement.
