Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations correct minor errors in the Firefighters’ Pensions (Remediable Service) (Scotland) Regulations 2023 (“the 2023 Regulations”), including in respect of some amendments to the 2023 Regulations made by the Firefighters’ Pensions (Remediable Service) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2025.

The 2023 Regulations were made under the Public Services Pensions Act 2013 and the Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022 (“the 2022 Act”) to remedy the unlawful discrimination on the basis of age that was found to result from the transitional protections afforded to certain cohorts of members of Chapter 1 legacy schemes, as defined in the 2022 Act.
