Dyma’r fersiwn wreiddiol (fel y’i gwnaed yn wreiddiol). This item of legislation is currently only available in its original format.
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make fresh provision in relation to pensions payable to police officers and to others, including surviving spouses or civil partners and children, in respect of deceased, serving or retired officers.
The Regulations have effect from 6th April 2006 (the commencement date) apart from regulations 13(3)(b) and 78(7) which have effect from 30th March 2007. Retrospective effect is permitted by section 1(5) of the Police Pensions Act 1976.
The Regulations apply to police officers who first became such on or after the commencement date (6th April 2006) (regulation 6(1)). They also apply to certain officers who first became such before the commencement date and rejoin the police service on or after that date following a break in service (regulation 6(2)), subject to modifications in Schedule 2. They also apply to officers who remain in service as at the commencement date but who elect or had elected not to pay pension contributions; they may elect to pay contributions under these Regulations (regulation 6(3) and (4)). The Police Pensions Regulations 1987 continue to have effect in relation to police officers who first became such before the commencement date. Officers who remain in service as at the commencement date and are paying pension contributions under the Police Pensions Regulations 1987 may elect for these Regulations to apply instead and for earlier pensionable service to count towards pension awards under these Regulations (regulation 6(6) to (9)). Regulation 6(8) also enables other categories of serving officer who first became such before the commencement date, and who are entitled to accrued benefits under the Police Pensions Regulations 1987, to make a transfer election so that earlier pensionable service will instead count towards pension awards under these Regulations. Schedule 3 makes provision for transfer elections and related matters.
Part 2 of the Regulations requires pension contributions to be paid by police officers (regulation 7) subject to an election not to do so (regulation 9). That Part also provides for the reckoning of pensionable service, and governs the time of voluntary or compulsory retirement. The minimum age for voluntary retirement is 55 years.
Part 3 is concerned with the calculation of pensionable pay and aggregate pension contributions for the purposes of awards.
Part 4 makes provision for the pension awards which may be payable to police officers or in respect of deceased officers, and for the circumstances in which awards may be revised, withdrawn or forfeited.
Part 5 enables officers to purchase increased benefits or “added years”.
Part 6 applies to cases where there is a pension sharing order under the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 (or the corresponding Northern Ireland legislation) or the Civil Partnership Act 2004.
Part 7 contains provision for the determination of medical questions related to eligibility for awards.
Part 8 contains financial provisions including provisions on transfer values.
Part 9 makes provision for special cases: chief constables affected by alterations in police areas, servicemen (as defined in regulation 89) and transfers of police officers to or from an English or Welsh police force or the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
