# The Local Government (Compensation) (Amendment) Regulations 1965, Note: Explanatory note


These regulations amend the Local Government (Compensation) Regulations 1963 made under section 60(2) of the Local Government Act 1958, and extend the scope of those regulations under powers conferred by that section as amended by section 63 of the Police Act 1964 and section 11(2) of the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964.
The principal amendments to the 1963 Regulations are as follows—
(1) The regulations are applied to—
(a) officers of local valuation panels affected by local government reorganisation (regulations 3(2)(b) and (6), 4(1), 6, 7(2) and 8(2));
(b) civilian employees of police authorities affected by amalgamations of such authorities under Part I of the Police Act 1964 (regulations 3(2)(a) and (4), 5, 7(1) and 8(1));
(c) library officers affected by the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964 (regulations 3(2)(b) and (5), 5, 7(1), 8(1) and 9).
(2) Provision is made for the payment of retirement compensation to persons entitled under the regulations whose pension rights derive in part from statutory schemes and in part from schemes based on policies of insurance (regulation 18).
(3) Persons claiming compensation are required to inform the compensating authority if they become entitled to pension benefits (regulation 19).
(4) In assessing compensation no account is to be taken of any temporary increase of remuneration granted in connection with the reorganisation or other event which has led to the claim.
A number of other minor amendments are made to bring the regulations of 1963 in line with the London Government (Compensation) Regulations 1964 (S.I. 1964/1953).
