Made 22nd October 2018

Laid before Parliament 23rd October 2018

Coming into force 13th January 2019

The Secretary of State, being a Minister designated^f1 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972^f2 in relation to personal and occupational pensions, makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of that Act and sections 60(2)(h), 93(2)(q), and 318(1) of the Pensions Act 2004^f3.

In accordance with section 317(2)(b) of the Pensions Act 2004, regulation 5 of these Regulations, and regulation 20(10) of the Occupational Pension Schemes (Cross-border Activities) Regulations 2005 (as inserted by regulation 3(7) of these Regulations), have not been subject to consultation, because it appears to the Secretary of State that by reason of urgency consultation is inexpedient.
