CUSTOMS (OFFICERS) ACT, 1881
|
| |
CHAPTER 30.
|
| |
An Act to provide for the employment of certain Officers and Clerks by the Commissioners of Customs. [11th August 1881.]
|
| |
WHEREAS by the Superannuation Act, 1859, it is enacted that for the purposes of that Act no person thereafter appointed shall be deemed to have served in the permanent Civil Service of the State, unless such person holds his appointment directly from the Crown or has been admitted into the Civil Service with a certificate from the Civil Service Commissioners:
|
| |
And whereas the directors of the Customs Benevolent Fund have, in pursuance of letters patent, conducted the publication of daily returns of imports and exports known as bills of entry, and on the recent expiration of the letters patent the Commissioners of Her Majesty’s Customs have arranged to continue such publication, and desire to employ for that purpose some of the officers add clerks heretofore employed in such publication:
|
| |
And whereas it is expedient, with a view to the remuneration and superannuation allowance of those officers and clerks, to provide for their admission into the Civil Service:
|
| |
Be it therefore enacted by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
|
|
|
Short title.
|
1. This Act may be cited as the Customs (Officers) Act, 1881.
|
|
|
Provision for employment by Customs of officers and clerks heretofore employed on bills of entry.
|
2. The Commissioners of Her Majesty’s Customs with the consent of the Commissioners of Her Majesty’s Treasury may take into permanent employment any officer or clerk heretofore employed by the directors of the Customs Benevolent Fund in connexion with the publication of bills of entry, and any officer or clerk so taken into permanent employment shall be deemed to be in the permanent Civil Service of the State in like manner as if he had been admitted into the same with a certificate from the Civil Service Commissioners, and shall be entitled to receive remuneration and superannuation allowance accordingly; and further, shall be entitled, for the purpose of superannuation allowance, to count his past years of continuous service under the said directors as if they were years of service in the permanent Civil Service of the State.
