Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on s1st December 1987, amend the Police Pensions (War Service) (Transferees) Regulations 1985 (“the 1985 Regulations”) with effect from 1st April 1978 (the date as from which the 1985 Regulations had effect: retrospection is authorised by section 1(5) of the Police Pensions Act 1976).
Regulation 2(2) enlarges the categories of policemen specified in regulation 9 of the 1985 Regulations (in respect of whom an additional transfer value may be paid to permit war service to reckon in another scheme) so as to include a policeman in respect of whom no transfer value had been paid but who nevertheless was entitled to reckon service as a member of a police force for the purposes of the public service pension scheme to which he transferred.
Regulation 2(3) substitutes a new paragraph for regulation 9(4) of the 1985 Regulations in order to correct an error in the definition of “public service”.
