The Commonwealth Telegraphs (Cable and Wireless Ltd. Pension) Regulations 1955

Women leaving pension schemes

11.—(1) Where a female transferee to whom this part of these regulations applies ceases after the date of transfer to be a member of an existing pension scheme or the Cable and Wireless Pension Fund or a contributor to the Superannuation Suspense Account (as the case may be), otherwise than on becoming an established civil servant, and subsequently she retires from or dies in the service of the Post Office in such circumstances that a retirement or death gratuity would have been made to or in respect of her by the Company by virtue of any agreement, arrangement, or customary practice of the Company (whether in operation on the thirty-first day of March, 1950, or coming into operation after that date) if she had remained in the service of the Company, the Postmaster-General may pay a gratuity to or in respect of her out of moneys provided by Parliament.

(2) The amount of the gratuity payable in any case shall be the amount which would have been paid to or in respect of the person concerned in the circumstances of that case if she had remained in the employment of the Company and had received the salary and emoluments which she actually received in respect of her service in the Post Office after the date of transfer.
