Modification of the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 2013

2.  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.
