Modification of the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 20132

From the merger date, the 2013 Regulations apply in relation to Wandsworth and Richmond with the following modifications—

a

in paragraph 1(b) of Part 1 of Schedule 3 (pension funds), the reference to a London borough council does not include a reference to Richmond (which is accordingly no longer an administering authority and is not required to maintain a pension fund for the Scheme);

b

regulation 103 (changes of administering authority) does not apply in relation to the transfer of assets and liabilities described in regulation 3(1) of these Regulations; and

c

the table in Part 2 of Schedule 3 (pension funds) applies as if for any person for whom the appropriate administering authority has been or would be Richmond, the appropriate administering authority is Wandsworth.
