Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the European Parliamentary (United Kingdom Representatives) Pensions (Additional Voluntary Contributions Scheme) (No. 2) Order 1995.

Article 3 amends the definitions of “Class A contributor” and “ Class C contributor”. The amendments permit any person who became a member of the European Parliamentary pension scheme before 1st June 1989, by giving notice in writing to the Managers of the scheme, to elect to be treated as if he had become a member of the scheme on or after that date.

Article 4 relaxes the limits on contributions to the AVC scheme, but still within overall Inland Revenue constraints.

Article 5 amends a paragraph of Schedule 2 of the 1995 Order to correct a typographical error.
