“The wording of Regulation 32 itself leads to the same conclusion. It does not purport to take away any rights, but merely to make it clear that certain rights are not being conferred, and this disclaimer is more appropriately applied to a right to be granted a pension, which could only arise under the regulations, than to a right to receive a pension once granted, which, for reasons which we shall state, arises as a matter of law from the relationship between the Council and its employees.”
