1993 c. 48. Section 28 was amended, and section 28A was inserted, by sections 142 and 143 respectively of the Pensions Act 1995 (c. 26). Section 48 was amended by section 140(2) of the Pensions Act 1995.

Section 181(1) is cited because of the meaning ascribed to the words “prescribed” and “regulations”.
