Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, by extending the application of the Local Government (Compensation for Premature Retirement) (Scotland) Regulations 1979, allow for the payment of compensation to, or in respect of, persons aged 50 or over who are members of the Local Government Superannuation Scheme, and employed at Newbattle Abbey College.

The compensation is in the form of additions to accrued superannuation benefits.

The Regulations have retrospective effect from 25th September 1989, as authorised by section 24(3)(c) of the Superannuation Act 1972.
