Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This short regulation cancels (repeals) the earlier National Security (War Pensions and Repatriation Benefits) Regulations made in 1942.

Key points:

Removes old rules: It deletes the entire 1942 regulations from the statute books.
Backdated effect: The cancellation is deemed to have taken effect from 1 April 1943, even though this document was signed in September 1943. This means the 1942 regulations are treated as if they stopped applying from that earlier date.
Wartime powers: It was made under the National Security Act 1939–1943, which gave the government emergency powers during World War II.

Who it affects: Primarily relevant to World War II veterans, war widows, and their dependents who were covered by the 1942 regulations. The repeal likely coincided with replacement legislation or new administrative arrangements for repatriation benefits.
