The Treasury, in exercise of the powers conferred upon them by section 33 of the Superannuation Act 1965, and of all other powers enabling them in that behalf, hereby make the following Rules:—

2.  Rule 1 of these Rules shall not apply to any person to whom Part II of the Superannuation (Transfers between the Civil Service and Local Government) Rules 1950 and 1955 applies or would apply if he fulfilled the conditions contained in paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule 3(1) of those Rules.

3.  The Interpretation Act 1889shall apply for the interpretation of these Rules as it applies for the interpretation of an Act of Parliament.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Rules provide for service (not being service before 1st January 1919 or before age 18) of certain staff with local authorities to be reckoned, subject to certain conditions, as unestablished civil service for the purposes of the Superannuation Act 1965. The staff covered by the Rules are persons taken into the civil service after 30th September 1960 and before 2nd February 1965 as officers employed by the National Assistance Board in Reception Centres established under section 17 of the National Assistance Act 1948, having previously been employed by local authorities in connection with the provision and maintenance of such Reception Centres.

The Rules do not apply to any person whose local authority service has become, or could have become, reckonable as service in the capacity of a civil servant upon payment of a transfer value by the former local authority employer under existing statutory powers.
