(This note is not part of the Order)
Subject to certain conditions section 21 of the Judicial Pensions Act 1981 permits the payment of a children’s pension under that Act to continue after the child reaches the age of 16 if the child is undergoing training for a trade, profession or vocation. One of the conditions is that the emoluments received during training, excluding any emoluments receivable or payable by way of return of any premium paid in respect of the training, do not exceed £1,550 a year. This Order revokes the Superannuation (Children’s Pensions) (Earnings Limit) Order 1991 and increases the limit on such emoluments from £1,550 to £1,614 a year.
