  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations make a number of amendments to the Local Government Superannuation Regulations 1986 (S.I. 1986/24) (“the principal Regulations”).\nRegulation 2 provides that the superannuation fund administered by the London Pensions Fund Authority is the appropriate fund in respect of employees of the London Residuary Body who subsequently become employed by a London borough council or the Common Council of the City of London. This regulation is by virtue of section 12(1) of the Superannuation Act 1972 made retrospective to 1st April 1990.\nThe remaining provisions of the Regulations enable certain part-time employees and former part-time employees to purchase additional reckonable service in order to increase the benefits payable to them under the principal Regulations. Part-time employees first became eligible to elect to be pensionable employees by virtue of the Local Government Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/293). An election could be made retrospectively to have effect from 1st April 1986. Regulations 3 to 8 apply to a person who made such an election, and also to a “term-time” employee (one who worked for fewer than 45 weeks per year) who elected before 1st April 1988 to become a pensionable employee.\nRegulation 3 inserts new regulations C7A and C7B. Regulation C7A sets out the procedure for electing to purchase additional reckonable service and for payment. Employing authorities may meet up to half of the cost. Regulation C7B allows a person who is already paying additional contributions to purchase additional service to discontinue them.\nRegulation 4 inserts a new regulation D13 which confers the entitlement to reckon an additional period, and regulation 6 inserts a new regulation E34 which provides for the situation where a person has already ceased to be employed. Regulation 8 inserts a new Schedule 4A which provides for the calculation of the sum to be paid by a person purchasing additional service and the length of additional service which he will be credited. Regulations 5 and 7 make consequential amendments to the principal Regulations.",
