5 Under the Public Sector Management Act 1994 s. 112(2) a reference in a written law to the Public Service Commissioner is to be construed as if it had been amended to be a reference to the Minister for Public Sector Management.

6 The Superannuation and Family Benefits Act 1938 was repealed by the State Superannuation Act 2000 s. 39 but its provisions continue to apply to and in relation to certain schemes because of the State Superannuation (Transitional and Consequential Provisions) Act 2000 s. 26. Also see note 9.
