Frank Gwynne Tudor)\n- **How much:** £156 per year (paid from government funds)\n- **Where the money comes from:** The Consolidated Revenue Fund (the government's main bank account)\n- **When it stops:** If she remarries, the payments immediately cease\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis is an example of a \"private Act\" — legislation passed to benefit one specific person rather than the general public. In the early 1900s, Parliament occasionally passed these Acts to provide for the families of prominent public servants or politicians who died without adequate savings or superannuation. It reflects how welfare and pension systems worked (or didn't work) for political families before modern superannuation schemes existed."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/special-annuity-act-1923","history":"/api/acts/special-annuity-act-1923/history","analysis":"/api/acts/special-annuity-act-1923/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/special-annuity-act-1923/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/special-annuity-act-1923/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/special-annuity-act-1923/documents"}}
