EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Police Cadets (Pensions) Regulations 1973 give to police cadets and their dependants certain pension benefits, for which members of police forces and their dependants are eligible, by applying certain provisions of the Police Pensions Regulations 1973. The Police Cadets (Pensions) (Amendment) Regulations 1974 amended the Police Cadets (Pensions) Regulations 1973 to attract amendments made to the Police Pensions Regulations 1973 by the Police Pensions (Amendment) Regulations 1974. The Police Pensions (Amendment) Regulations 1975, the Police Pensions (Amendment) Regulations 1976 and the Police Pensions (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1978 made further relevant amendments to the Police Pensions Regulations 1973 with effect from 1st December 1975 (the 1975 Regulations), 24th January 1975 (Part II of the 1976 Regulations), 1st April 1975 (Part III of the 1976 Regulations) and 6th April 1978 (the 1978 Regulations). The present Regulations amend the Police Cadets (Pensions) Regulations 1973 to attract those amendments from the appropriate dates subject to the exclusion of particular provisions. Retrospective effect is authorised by sections 12 and 15 of the Superannuation Act 1972.
