Note (1) — The registered pension in respect of every married or widowed officer who ceased to contribute before 1 July 1964, shall continue to be computed on the tables and instructions in force on 30 June 1964.Note (2) — The pension as at 30 June 1964 (“the original pension”) computed on the tables and instructions in force on 30 June 1964, and registered in respect of each married or widowed officer who began to contribute before and was still contributing on 30 June 1964, shall be recomputed as follows—
  • (i)The original pension shall be divided into 2 parts—
    • (a)the part purchased by contributions which fell due on or before 30 June 1964; and
    • (b)the part to be purchased by contributions falling due on or after 1 July 1964.
  • (ii)Part (b) shall be recomputed by applying to Table B in Appendix A the amount of the contributor's annual contribution as at 1 July 1964, increased by five-eighths to take account of the notional Government contribution.
  • (iii)The registered pension at 1 July 1964, shall be obtained by adding the recomputed Part (b) to Part (a) provided Part (b) so recomputed is greater than Part (b) computed on the existing tables; otherwise the amount of the original pension should be retained. If Part (b) before recomputation is greater than the original pension however the recomputed pension shall be equal to the recomputed Part (b). (For examples see item G of this Appendix.)
Note (3) — The tables in Appendix A shall apply—
  • (i)to all pensions registered in respect of officers who began to contribute on or after 1 July 1964;
  • (ii)to all pensions registered in respect of officers who were contributing on 1 July 1964, for the purpose of computing variations when their rates of contribution rise or fall on or after that date;
  • (iii)to all pensions registered on marriage in respect of bachelors who marry on or after 1 July 1964, in relation to contributions paid both before and after marriage; and
  • (iv)to all pensions registered in respect of widowers, for the purpose of computing variations if they remarry on or after 1 July 1964.

G. — RECOMPUTATION OF PENSION REGISTERED IN RESPECT OF A MARRIED OR WIDOWED CONTRIBUTOR AT 30 JUNE 1964

Example (1)—

Officer born on — 29 September 1933

Wife born on — 1 September 1938

Annual contribution as at 30 June 1964 — £F40

Registered pension as at 30 June 1964 — £F339

Quantity found from Table B in force on 30 June 1964—

Husband aged 30 last birthday}6.731
Wife aged 25 last birthday

Therefore the part of the registered pension to be purchased by contributions falling due on or after 1 July 1964, Part (b), is £F40 x 6.731, ie £F269.24.

Therefore the part of the registered pension purchased by contributions which fell due on or before 30 June 1964, Part (a) is £F339 minus £269.24, ie £F69.76.

Quantity found from Table B in Appendix A—

Husband aged 30 last birthday}5.68
Wife aged 25 last birthday

Therefore the amount of registered pension to be purchased by contributions including notional Government contributions falling due on or after 1 July 1964, Part (b), as recomputed according to the tables in Appendix A, is £F(40 plus 5/8th 40) or £F65 x 5.68, ie £F369.20. Part (b) as recomputed £F369.20 is greater than Part (b) according to the tables in force on 30 June 1964, and is therefore to be added to Part (a). The recomputed registered pension is therefore £F69.76 plus £F369.20, ie £F438.96.

Example (2)—

Officer born on — 21 January 1919

Wife born on — 30 November 1918

Annual contribution as at 30 June 1964 — £F60

Registered pension as at 30 June 1964 — £F880

Quantity found from Table B in force on 30 June 1964

Husband aged 45 last birthday}3.094
Wife aged 45 last birthday

Therefore the part of the registered pension to be purchased by contributions falling due on or after 1 July 1964, Part (b) is £F60 x 3.094, ie £F185.64.

Therefore the part of the registered pension purchased by contributions which fell due on or before 30 June 1964, Part (a), is £F880 minus £F185.64, ie £F694.36.

Quantity found from Table B in Appendix A

Husband aged 45 last birthday}2.22
Wife aged 45 last birthday

Therefore the amount of registered pension to be purchased by contributions including notional Government contributions falling due on or after 1 July 1964, Part (b), as recomputed according to the tables in Appendix A is £F(60 plus 5/8th 60) or £F97.5 x 2.22, ie £F216.45.

Part (b) as recomputed £F216.45 is greater than Part (b) according to the tables in force on 30 June 1964 and is therefore to be added to Part (a). The recomputed registered pension is therefore £F694.36 plus £F216.45, ie £F910.81.

Example (3)—

Officer born on — 29 June 1914

Wife born on — 25 June 1919

Annual contribution as at 30 June 1964 £F60

Registered pension as at 30 June 1964 £F540

Quantity found from Table B in force on 30 June 1964

Husband aged 50 last birthday}1.378
Wife aged 45 last birthday

Therefore the part of the registered pension to be purchased by contributions falling due on or after 1 July 1964, Part (b) is £F60 x 1.378, ie £F82.68.

Quantity found from Table B in Appendix A

Husband aged 50 last birthday}.83
Wife aged 45 last birthday

Therefore the amount of registered pension to be purchased by contributions including notional Government contributions falling due on or after 1 July 1964, Part (b), as recomputed according to the tables in Appendix A, is £F(60 plus 5/8th 60) or £F97.5 x .83, ie £F80.92.

Part (b) as recomputed is less than Part (b) according to the tables in force on 30 June 1964 and accordingly the registered pension remains unaltered at £F540.
