(This note is not part of the Order)
The European Parliamentary (United Kingdom Representatives) Pensions Order 1980 ( “the principal Order ”) makes provision for the pensions payable to or in respect of United Kingdom Representatives to the European Parliament. The benefits provided are similar to those for Members of the House of Commons. Article 3 of this Order amends article 4 of the principal Order, by reducing the pension contributions paid by Representatives on or after 1st April 1992 to 6% of salary. This mirrors a reduction in the contributions payable by Members of the House of Commons to the Parliamentary Contributory Pension Fund which takes effect from the same date.
1979 c. 50. (Section 3 of the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1986 (c. 58) substituted references to the European Parliament for references to the Assembly of the European Communities in Acts and other instruments.)
