Police and Justice Act 2006

Power to merge police pension schemes

2 (1) Regulations may—

(a) revoke those provisions of the police pensions regulations that apply to persons who became members of a police pension scheme before 6th April 2006, and

(b) make equivalent provision establishing a single pension scheme for the benefit of those persons.

(2) In sub-paragraph (1)(b) “equivalent provision” means, subject to sub-paragraph (3), provision having the same effect as the provisions revoked.

(3) The regulations may make changes to the effect of the provisions revoked if the changes—

(a) are made as a result of consolidating the provisions of the different police pensions regulations into a single pension scheme, and

(b) do not make the scheme less beneficial to any member of it than the police pension scheme of which he was previously a member.
