Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Local Government Superannuation Regulations 1986.

Provision is made for the pensionable status of persons employed by further education corporations or institutions which, respectively, are established or designated under the Further and Higher Education Act 1992, and for the appropriate superannuation fund in relation to any such person. The Regulations also remove restrictions on the qualification for pensionable status of employees of a designated institution formerly assisted by a local educational authority and of the governing body of a grant–maintained school which was formerly a voluntary school.

The Regulations are, by virtue of section 12 of the Superannuation Act 1972, made retrospective to either 1st April 1989 (regulations 2 and 5(b)) or 1st April 1993 (regulations 3, 4 and 5(a)).
