  "text": "(This note does not form part of these Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 1997 (“the principal Regulations”) which comprise the Local Government Pension Scheme.\nRegulation 3 amends the definition of “authorised insurer” in regulation 5 of the principal Regulations to refer to insurers authorised to carry on general, rather than long-term, business. Regulation 5, which deals with admission agreements, was substituted for the existing regulation 5 with effect from 13th January 2000 by the Local Government Pension Scheme (Amendment etc.) Regulations 1999. The amendment takes effect from the same date.\nRegulation 4 contains two minor drafting amendments, both of which take effect from a date before these Regulations come into force.\nRegulation 5 contains a savings provision.\nSection 12 of the Superannuation Act 1972 provides that regulations made under section 7 of that Act may have retrospective effect.",
