Amended by:

An Act to give effect to an Agreement made between the Interim Commissioner for the West Indies and the Government of the Island in respect of certain pensions for service under the West Indies Federation and the Interim Commissioner.
[Commencement: 24th May, 1965]
Short title
1.
This Act may be cited as the Pensions (Transferred Federal Officers) Act.
Interpretation
2.
For the purposes of this Act the expression “public service” has the meaning assigned to it in section 2 of the Pensions Act, Cap. 25.
Annual sums required to be paid
3.
Subject to this Act, the Governor-General shall—
(a)
upon the retirement from the public service of each person named in the First Schedule pay to him an annual sum in respect of his service under the Federation of the West Indies and the Interim Commissioner for the West Indies;
(b)
upon the death of each person named in the First Schedule pay to his dependants an annual sum in respect of his service under the Federation of the West Indies and the Interim Commissioner for the West Indies.
Computation of annual sums
4.(1)
The annual sum required to be paid to a person or his dependants pursuant to section 3 shall be computed at rates and under conditions not less favourable to such person or his dependants than would have been the case if such annual sum had fallen to be computed and paid under the appropriate law.
(2)
For the purpose of this section “the appropriate law” means any law set out in the Second Schedule which, but for the West Indies (Pensions) Order, 1964,* would have applied to such person.
