“A SCHEME
Prepared by the Bishop of Winchester in pursuance of the Channel Islands (Church Legislation) Measures 1931 and 1957 for applying the Clergy Pensions (Amendment) Measure 1967 to the Channel Islands.
PREAMBLE
Whereas by section 6 of the Clergy Pensions (Amendment) Measure 1967 it is provided that the Measure shall be construed as one with the Clergy Pensions Measure 1961 and whereas by section 49 of that Measure it is provided that the Measure may be applied to the Channel Islands as defined in the Channel Islands (Church Legislation) Measures 1931 and 1957 in accordance with the provisions of those Measures:
And whereas the Bishop of Winchester has come to the conclusion that the Clergy Pensions (Amendment) Measure 1967 ought to be applied, with certain variations, to the Channel Islands and has in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of the Schedule to the Channel Islands (Church Legislation) Measure 1931 prepared the following Scheme for that purpose:
SCHEME
The Clergy Pensions (Amendment) Measure 1967 shall apply to the Channel Islands subject to the following variations, that is to say;
In sub-section (5) of section 4 of the said Measure the words `by instrument under seal' shall be deleted and the words `the sanction of an order of the Charity Commissioners' shall be construed as including such sanction as may be required in similar circumstances by any custom or law which is or may hereafter become operative in the Channel Islands or either of them.
Any reference in this Scheme to the Channel Islands or either of them shall have the same meaning as has such a reference in the Channel Islands (Church Legislation) Measure 1931.”
This Order applies the Clergy Pensions (Amendment) Measure 1967 to the Channel Islands in accordance with a Scheme prepared by the Bishop of Winchester.
