  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Local Government Superannuation (Scotland) Regulations 1987 (“the principal Regulations”) by inserting a provision enabling administering authorities to recover the costs incurred by them in administering a superannuation fund from that fund, and by providing that, where they do so, employing authorities will not require to pay contributions towards such costs (regulation 3(3), (4) and (5)).\nThe new provision takes effect as from 1st April 1986, which is before the Local Government Superannuation (Scotland) Regulations 1987 were made. This retrospective effect is authorised by section 12(1) of the Superannuation Act 1972.\nThese Regulations also make two technical amendments to regulation A4 of the principal Regulations (regulation 3(2)).",
