OBJECTS AND REASONS



Clause 2 of the Bill |rings the definition of G
Council into line with the definition of this ex
section 2 (2) of the Pensions Act, 1947 (No. 1
and in sections 2 (1) of the Pension (Increase)
(No. 10 of 1947) and of the Pensions Increase
(No. 10 of 1953). The adoption of the new def
rectify the anomaly under which the pension of a
tional school teacher whose whole service has bi
Presidency is granted by the Federal Lxecutiy
whereas and increase to such pension is grant
Executive Council of the Presidency.

2, Clause 3 substitutes the expression ‘Tn
Schools” for the expression ‘‘ Federal Inspector of
the latter office having long since been abolished.

3. Section 3 of the Denominational Schoo
Pension Ordinance, 1931, read in conjunction with s
the said Ordinance, provides that that Ordinance ay
teachers employed in a Denominational Schuol i.e
mentioned in the Schedule to the Ordinance,



No. of 1954. Denominational School Teachers 3. ANTIGUA.
Pension (Amendment)

24

: 4, Section 23 of the Ordinance empowers the Governor
in Council from time to time to add to the Schedule the name
of any school.

5. There is provision in section 3 (6) of the Ordinance
that as regards teachers employed in Denominational Schools
at the commencement of the Ordinance (.e., 28th December,
1931) their service ay teachers in the Presidency before the
commencement of the Ordinance should be regarded as service
“after the commencement thereof.

6. There is no such provision in relation to teachers in
Denominational Schools when the name of the school is added
to the Schedule after the commencement of the Ordinance.
The pensionable service of such teachers therefore commences
from the date when the name of such sthool is added to the
Schedule, or from the date of their appointment to such school,
whichever is the later.

7. Neither is there any provision preserving the continuity
of service for pensionable purposes of a teacher employed in
a denominationsl school who is transferred to another school
not then listed in the Schedule and only added to the Schedule
soinetime after the transfer of such teacher to such school.

8. Clause 4 of the Bill seeks to eure both these defects
in the Ordinance by providing that when a schol is added to
the Schedule it shall take effect and shall be deemed always to
have had effect as if the name of the school had been inserted
in the Schedule at the commencement of the Ordinance.

OBJECTS AND REASONS



Clause 2 of the Bill |rings the definition of G
Council into line with the definition of this ex
section 2 (2) of the Pensions Act, 1947 (No. 1
and in sections 2 (1) of the Pension (Increase)
(No. 10 of 1947) and of the Pensions Increase
(No. 10 of 1953). The adoption of the new def
rectify the anomaly under which the pension of a
tional school teacher whose whole service has bi
Presidency is granted by the Federal Lxecutiy
whereas and increase to such pension is grant
Executive Council of the Presidency.

2, Clause 3 substitutes the expression ‘Tn
Schools” for the expression ‘‘ Federal Inspector of
the latter office having long since been abolished.

3. Section 3 of the Denominational Schoo
Pension Ordinance, 1931, read in conjunction with s
the said Ordinance, provides that that Ordinance ay
teachers employed in a Denominational Schuol i.e
mentioned in the Schedule to the Ordinance,
No. of 1954. Denominational School Teachers 3. ANTIGUA.
Pension (Amendment)

24

: 4, Section 23 of the Ordinance empowers the Governor
in Council from time to time to add to the Schedule the name
of any school.

5. There is provision in section 3 (6) of the Ordinance
that as regards teachers employed in Denominational Schools
at the commencement of the Ordinance (.e., 28th December,
1931) their service ay teachers in the Presidency before the
commencement of the Ordinance should be regarded as service
“after the commencement thereof.

6. There is no such provision in relation to teachers in
Denominational Schools when the name of the school is added
to the Schedule after the commencement of the Ordinance.
The pensionable service of such teachers therefore commences
from the date when the name of such sthool is added to the
Schedule, or from the date of their appointment to such school,
whichever is the later.

7. Neither is there any provision preserving the continuity
of service for pensionable purposes of a teacher employed in
a denominationsl school who is transferred to another school
not then listed in the Schedule and only added to the Schedule
soinetime after the transfer of such teacher to such school.

8. Clause 4 of the Bill seeks to eure both these defects
in the Ordinance by providing that when a schol is added to
the Schedule it shall take effect and shall be deemed always to
have had effect as if the name of the school had been inserted
in the Schedule at the commencement of the Ordinance.
