 President: I now call upon the Honourable Crown Attorney to move ihe
 further motions appearing on the addendunm.to the Order Pape r,
 Honourable Crown Attorney : Your Honour, Honourable Members, I beg leave
 to move that this Council approves the Regulations cited., as the Pensions
 (Amendment) Regulations, 1951, made by the Governor-in-Council on.tfhe 20th day
 of February, 1951,'under Section 3 (1) of the Pensions Ordinance, 1948 (No. 16 of
 1948) .;
 These amendments are designed-to include in the Schedule of Titles under the
 principal Ordinance the names of certain Colonies and the names of, certain
 places and institutions, which would make it possible for a person who has been
 transferred from one Colony to' another or for service in another institution to
- carry hispension rights with him. These regulations are made on the advice of
 the S.cretary of State, who suggested that these names be inserted,
 Honourable Colonial Treasurer : I beg to second the motion.
 Honourable Member for -South Windward : I am afraid I don't understand
 the reason why these regulations have. been made-and would not like to leave the
 Council Chamber without this information.
 Honourable Crown Attorney : In the Pensions Ordinance there is a list of
 places which are Scleduled territories under which 'an officer's public service is
 taken into account for pension purposes. That is to say, if an officer is transferred
 from one territory to another mentioned in the Schedule he is entitled to carry
 with him his pension rights.
 Honourable-Membet for South Windward : Are'these regulations reciprocal?
 I notice Dominica is one of the places mentioned.
 Honourable E. A. C. Hughes : Dominica is already mentioned in the Schedule.
 What we are doing now is to insert certaiii words between Dominica" and
 "Falkland Islands ", etc. These amending regulations are to make provision for
 the man who is transferred from St. Vincent to, say, North Borneo (I can think
 now of Major Cozier, who has been transferred from St. Vincent to that Colony)
 to which territory at present he does hot carry his pension rights with him. These
 regulations are simply to. extend the territories under which an officer transferred
 from St. Vincent would be entitled to carry his pension rights.
 S- President : Is that expl.aation satisfactory?
 Honourable Member for South Windward : Yes.
 Question put and agreed to.
 Honourable Crown Attorney : I beg leave to move that this Council approves
 the Regualations cited as the Scholarships to Secondary Schools (Amendment)
 Regulations, 1951, made by the Governor-in-Council on the 9th day of February,
 S1951, under Section 29 of the Education Ordinance (No. 29 Qf 1937).
 This amendment to the Regulations was suggested by the Education
 Department afid is for the purpose of substituting the word September for the
 word July as the qualifying date for sitting the examination, on account of the
 fact that the examination date has been changed.
 Honourable Colonial Treasurer : I beg to second the motion.
 Question put and agreed to.
 Honourable Crown Attorney : I beg leave to move that this Council approves-
 the Regulations cited as the Education (Kingstown Preparatory, School)
 (Amendment) Regulations, 1951, made by the Governor-in-Council on the 26th day
 of January, 1951, under Section 30 of the Education Ordinance (No. 29 of 1937).
