Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation cancels (repeals) the employment rules for staff who worked on the War Service Homes scheme.

Background: The War Service Homes Act helped World War I veterans buy or build homes. The regulations being cancelled here (first made in 1938 and updated many times since) set out special pay, conditions, and employment terms for the public servants administering that veteran housing program.

What this does:

Completely wipes out the 1938 Staff Regulations and all their amendments
Removes the separate employment framework that applied specifically to War Service Homes staff
Likely shifts those employees into standard public service arrangements under the Department of Works and Housing

Why it matters: This is administrative "housekeeping" that consolidates wartime-era employment structures. By removing these special regulations, the government streamlined staffing arrangements as the veteran housing program moved to a more permanent bureaucratic footing.
