Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

The Special Annuity Act 1935 authorises a government annuity of £156 per year from the Consolidated Revenue Fund to Lady Kingsmill, widow of Senator Sir Walter Kingsmill, payable to her alone and ceasing if she remarries. It’s a narrowly targeted, historical example of Parliament directly appropriating public funds to support an individual rather than through a general pension scheme.
