In exercise of the powers conferred on me by section 35 of the Police Act 19641, as extended by section 13 of the Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 19672 and sections 12 and 15 of the Superannuation Act 19723, and after consulting the Police Negotiating Board for the United Kingdom in accordance with section 2(3) of the Police Negotiating Board Act 19804, I hereby make the following Regulations—
Citation1
These Regulations may be cited as the Police Cadets (Injury Benefit) Regulations 1987.
Commencement2
These Regulations shall come into force on 17th March 1987 and shall have effect as from 25th November 1982.

1
Subject to the following provisions of these Regulations, these Regulations shall be construed as one with the Police Cadets (Pensions) Regulations 19735 (hereinafter referred to as “the principal Regulations”).

In the case of a person who is totally disabled, Regulation 13(1) of the Police Pensions Regulations 19736, as applied by Regulation 3(2) of the principal Regulations, shall have effect, for the purposes of these Regulations, as if the reference to “that disablement being … likely to be permanent” were a reference to the total disablement of that person being likely to be permanent.
