[30th March 1971]
Most Gracious Sovereign,
Whereas Your Majesty was graciously pleased in compliance with the request of Your faithful Commons to declare Your desire to confer upon the Right Honourable Horace Maybray King some signal mark of Your Royal Favour, and recommended to the House of Commons the adoption of such measures as might be necessary for the accomplishment of that purpose:
Now we, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom in Parliament assembled, have resolved to grant unto Your Majesty the annual sums hereinafter mentioned; and do therefore most humbly beseech Your Majesty that it may be enacted, and be it 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:—
1 Annuities to be paid to the Right Honourable Horace Maybray King, and after his death to his widow.
(1) An annuity of 5,000 shall be paid to the Right Honourable Horace Maybray King, during his life, beginning on 12th January 1971:
Provided that one half of the annuity shall abate and be suspended during any period that the said Right Honourable Horace Maybray King hereafter holds any place, office or employment under Her Majesty of equal or greater amount in salary, profits or emolument than the amount of the annuity.
(2) If Una King, the wife of the Right Honourable Horace Maybray King, survives him, an annuity of 2,500 shall be paid to her beginning on the day after his death and shall continue during her life:
Provided that her right to the annuity shall be subject to such limitations and conditions as appear to the Minister for the Civil Service to be appropriate and to correspond to those applicable to widows' pensions under Part II of the Ministerial Salaries and Members' Pensions Act 1965 .
(3) Any annuity payable under this section shall be charged on the Consolidated Fund and shall be paid out of that Fund in such instalments and at such intervals as the Treasury may from time to time determine.
