Explanatory note

These Regulations reproduce the provisions of the Fire Services (Pensionable Employment) Regulations, 1952 (which are revoked by Regulation 7) with amendments which take account of changes in fire service and local government pension arrangements. They provide that where a regular fireman enters other pensionable employment under a local authority he shall be enabled to reckon his pensionable service in the fire brigade for pension purposes in his new employment and that in such case the fire authority shall pay a transfer value into the appropriate superannuation fund.
