The Naval, Military and Air Forces etc. (Modification of Enactments and other Instruments) Order 1978
This Order is made in consequence of the coming into operation of the Naval, Military and Air Forces etc. (Disablement and Death) Service Pensions Order 1978 (“the Consolidation”) (which consolidated the various war pensions instruments relating to disablement and death due to service in the Armed Forces during the first World War and after 2nd September 1939) and the War Pensions (Pre-Consolidation Amendment) Order 1978. It makes provision for references in Acts and instruments to those war pensions instruments and to pensions and other benefits provided by them to be construed, in so far as not inappropriate, as including references to the Consolidation or, as the case may be, pensions and other benefits under the Consolidation.
