(1)The Minister may, with the consent of the Treasury, make a scheme for—
(a)applying the provisions of any Naval War Pensions Order to persons employed or engaged on ships forming part of [F1the Royal Navy](being persons to whom the provisions of the Order would not otherwise apply) in cases where their death or disablement is directly attributable to war injuries sustained in such circumstances as may be specified in the scheme, or to detention caused by reason of their service in such ships; and
(b)the payment of allowances to or for the benefit of any such persons detained as aforesaid, or to or for the benefit of the dependants of such persons so detained.
