LOCAL GOVERNMENT STAFFS (WAR SERVICE) ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1939 - SECT 8

8. In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires, the following
expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them that is to say:

"Local authority" means any person or body of persons who receive or expend
the proceeds of any local rate, and any other public body which the Ministry
of Home Affairs may determine to be a local authority for the purposes of
this Act;

"Period of the present emergency" means the period beginning with the first
day of September, nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, and ending with such day
as the Governor of Northern Ireland may by Order in Council declare to be the
date on which the emergency that was the occasion of the passing of this Act
came to an end;

"Remuneration" means salary, wages and emoluments;

Definitions rep. (exc. as respects superannuation of certain existing
officers) by 1950 c.10 (NI) s.9 sch.3

"War service" means service, during the period of the present emergency, in
any of the naval, military or air forces of the Crown, and any employment
during that period which the Ministry of Home Affairs considers may properly
be treated for the purposes of this Act in the same manner as service in those
forces;

"War service pay," in relation to the remuneration which any person would have
received if he had continued to serve in any capacity with a local authority,
means his pay (including marriage, family and other similar allowances) in
respect of his war service, or, in a case where he ceased to serve not only in
that capacity but also in any other such capacity or capacities in order to
undertake war service, an amount which bears the same proportion to his pay
(including marriage, family and other similar allowances) in respect of his
war service as the remuneration which he would have received if he had
continued to serve in the first mentioned capacity bears to the total
remuneration which he would have received if he had continued to serve in both
or all of those capacities.
