<dc:description>This Order amends certain provisions of primary and subordinate legislation in consequence of section 85 of the Pensions (No. 2) Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. Section 85 abolishes the protected rights of members of pension schemes contracted-out on a defined contributions basis, from the contracted-out abolition date (the date for the coming into operation of section 13(1) of the Pensions Act (Northern Ireland) 2008). Section 13(1) comes into operation on 6th April 2012 by virtue of the Pensions (2008 Act) (Commencement No. 3) Order (Northern Ireland) 2012 (S.R. 2012 No. 115 (C. 11)).</dc:description>
