Section 1 of the Superannuation Act 1972 (“the Act”) permits the Minister for the Civil Service to make schemes which make provision for pension and other benefits in respect of civil servants and persons serving in an office or employment listed in Schedule 1 to the Act. The Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme, the Civil Service Additional Voluntary Contribution Scheme, the Civil Service Compensation Scheme and the Civil Service Injury Benefit Scheme are some of the schemes which have been made under section 1 of the Act.
This Order adds to the list of employments in Schedule 1 to the Act employment by the Commission for Ethical Standards in Public Life in Scotland, the Director of Fair Access to Higher Education (as part of the Office for Fair Access), and the Comisiynydd y Gymraeg (Welsh Language Commissioner).
This Order also adds to the list of offices in Schedule 1 to the Act Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Probation for England and Wales, the Prisons and Probations Ombudsman for England and Wales, and the Comisiynydd y Gymraeg (Welsh Language Commissioner).
The addition of these employments and offices to Schedule 1 to the Act makes the persons serving in the employments and offices eligible to be members of schemes made under section 1 of the Act, subject to the rules of these schemes.
Employment by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, the Children’s Workforce Development Council, the Commissioner for Public Appointments in Scotland, the Scottish Parliamentary Standards Commissioner, the School Food Trust, and the Bwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg (Welsh Language Board) is removed from those listed in Schedule 1 to the Act.
