***
Coming into operation in accordance with regulation 2
The Department of Education makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 1 and 3 of the Public Service Pensions Act (Northern Ireland) 2014(1).
In accordance with section 21 of that Act, the Department has consulted the representatives of such persons as appear to it likely to be affected by these Regulations.
Pursuant to section 24(1) of that Act, a draft of these Regulations has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of the Assembly.
In accordance with section 3(5) of that Act, the Department of Finance and Personnel has consented to the making of these Regulations.
1. These Regulations may be cited as the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (Consequential Provisions) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 and shall come into operation as provided by regulation 2.
2. Regulations 3 and 4 come into operation on the same day as paragraph 38 of Schedule 13 to the Pensions Act (Northern Ireland) 2015(2) comes into operation. On that day regulation 9 of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (Consequential Provisions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015(3) ceases to have effect.
3. In these Regulations—
“the 1993 Act” means the Pension Schemes (Northern Ireland) Act 1993(4);
“the new scheme” means the pension scheme established by regulation 2 of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014(5);
“the old scheme” means the scheme constituted by Regulations made under Article 11 of the Superannuation (Northern Ireland) Order 1972(6).
4. After regulation 9 of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (Consequential Provisions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015 insert—
9A.—(1) Chapter 3 of Part 4 of the 1993 Act (protection for early leavers: protection of increases in guaranteed minimum pensions (“anti-franking”)) is modified as follows.
(2) In the application of that Chapter to P as a member of the old scheme—
(a)in the section 83(1)(a)(i) (general protection principle), the reference to the time when P ceases to be in pensionable service under a scheme that was, before the second abolition date, a salary-related contracted-out scheme is to be taken as a reference to the time when P ceases to be in pensionable service in relation to the new scheme; and
(b)subsequent references to “the cessation date” are to be construed accordingly.”

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Chapter 3 of Part 4 of the Pension Schemes (Northern Ireland) Act 1993 concerns “anti-franking”, or the protection of increases in guaranteed minimum pensions (“GMPs”) which contracted-out schemes had to provide until 1997. For this purpose, the Regulations provide that the “cessation date”, when a person ceases to be in contracted-out employment under the old scheme (and from which point GMPs may need to be increased) is treated as the date when the person leaves the new scheme, and not the date when they transfer from their old scheme to their new scheme. Regulation 9A includes a subsequent modification of the definition of “cessation date” in section 83 of the 1993 Act; that definition was amended by the Pensions Act (Northern Ireland) 2015 as part of the abolition of contracting-out.
