Transfer to the Post Office company: supplementary provisions General provisions as to vesting of property etc.11

Anything (including any legal proceedings) which, immediately before the appointed day, is in the process of being done by or in relation to the Post Office may, so far as it relates to anything transferred by virtue of section 62, be continued by or in relation to the original holding company.

2

Anything done (or having effect as if done) by or in relation to the Post Office for the purposes of or in connection with anything transferred by virtue of section 62 shall, if in force immediately before the appointed day, have effect as if done by or in relation to the original holding company in so far as that is required for continuing its effect on or after the appointed day.

3

The transfer effected by virtue of section 62 does not affect the validity of anything done (or having effect as if done) by or in relation to the Post Office before the appointed day.

4

Any agreement (whether or not in writing), or any document other than an agreement or enactment, which was made before the appointed day shall have effect, so far as may be necessary for the purposes of, or in consequence of, the transfer effected by virtue of section 62 as if—

a

any references (including references which are to be construed as such references) to the Post Office were references to the original holding company, and

b

any references (including references which are to be construed as such references) to an employee or other person serving the Post Office in a specified capacity were references to such a person as the original holding company may appoint or, in default of appointment, to a person with corresponding functions serving the original holding company.

5

The Secretary of State may by order provide for any provision of sub-paragraphs (1) to (4) not to apply, or to apply with modifications, in such cases or descriptions of case as he considers appropriate.

6

Sub-paragraphs (1) to (4) are subject to any provision made by or under this Act.

Pensions21

The original holding company shall, on and after the appointed day, be liable to make payments of the same descriptions as the descriptions of payments which, immediately before that day, the Post Office was liable to make under sections 44 and 46 of the Post Office Act 1969 (pension payments for certain former civil servants).

2

Sub-paragraph (1) is without prejudice to the generality of the transfer effected by virtue of section 62.

3

Section 6(2) of the Commonwealth Telegraphs Act 1949 (which provides for the making of regulations with respect to the payment of pensions to, or in respect of, employees of Cable and Wireless Limited) shall have effect as if, in paragraph (c) and sub-paragraphs (iv), (v) and (vi) of paragraph (d), references which include references to the successor company (within the meaning of the Telecommunications Act 1984) included references to the original holding company.

41

Trustees appointed by the original holding company shall hold moneys held immediately before the appointed day by virtue of section 47(10) of the Post Office Act 1969 (moneys paid to the Post Office to meet certain pension liabilities), and any sums accruing as a result of the investment of such money, on such relevant trusts as the original holding company may declare.

2

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)—

3

Subject to that, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), trusts are relevant trusts if their objects consist in—

a

the payment, or the making of provision for the payment, of pensions, allowances and gratuities to, or in respect of, such persons engaged in the business of the original holding company or any company associated with the original holding company as may be specified in the trusts, and
