His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS by “The Government Life Insurance Act, 1886” (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), it is, among other things, enacted that on the commencement of the said Act all the provisions of “The Government Insurance and Annuities Act, 1874,” and of every other Act amending the same, or that would have applied to the last-mentioned Act if such Act had remained in force, shall, notwithstanding the prior express or implied repeal thereof, and except as expressly provided by the said Act, be and the same are thereby re-enacted so far as such provisions are capable of taking effect:

And whereas by the said Act it is also enacted that all regulations in force under “The New Zealand Government Insurance Association Act, 1884,” shall continue in force until revoked, altered, or made anew under or by virtue of the said Act; and, further, that the Governor in Council may, at any time after the passing of the said Act, make any regulations he is empowered to make by virtue of the said Act and the Act re-enacted thereby:

And whereas by the fifth section of “The Government Insurance and Annuities Act, 1874,” it is, among other things, enacted that the Governor shall have power, by Order in Council, from time to time to do the following things:—

To direct the use of tables approved from time to time by him for determining the values of all annuities under the provisions of the Act, and of tables so approved for payment of sums of money at death or otherwise under the provisions of the Act; and such tables respectively shall be valid and effectual so long as the same shall remain in force; and to revoke all or any of such tables, and to direct the use of other tables approved as aforesaid;

To discontinue, after notice in the New Zealand Gazette in such form and manner as to him shall seem fit, the granting of any annuities or of sums of money payable at death or otherwise, under the provisions of the Act, if he shall think it advisable so to do;

To fix the maximum and minimum limits for the amounts of the several annuities and payments on death and other payments to be contracted for under the Act;

To regulate the mode and form of making contracts under the Act, and the precedent conditions relating thereto in respect of medical certificates, and of extra rates of premium or fines in case of badness of lives or other contingencies which may be declared by the regulations to be special risks;

To prescribe the mode of proving the age and identity and the existence or death of persons, and the mode of paying sums of money payable under the Act, and the management of the accounts required to be kept;

To prescribe beforehand the terms upon which premiums paid under contracts for payments to be made at death or otherwise shall be returned to any person beneficially interested in the contract, and to determine beforehand the cases or classes of cases in which no premium shall be returned;

To make rules generally for the purpose of carrying the Act into effect, and to impose penalties not exceeding twenty pounds for breach of such rules;

To make rules respecting the loan of moneys under the Act on the security of the surrender value of policies, and for the effective recovery of principal and interest accruing on such loans:

And whereas it is expedient that certain of the rules and regulations now in force, and contained in an Order in Council dated the eighth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, and an Order in Council dated the twentieth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-six, should be revoked, and that new rules and regulations should be made in lieu thereof, in manner hereinafter set forth:
