Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Occupational Pension Schemes (Public Service Pension Schemes) Regulations 1978 (the principal Regulations). Regulation 2, by inserting a reference to Part IVA of the Social Security Pensions Act 1975 (the Pensions Ombudsman), extends the purposes for which the schemes listed in the Schedule to the principal Regulations are to be treated as public service pension schemes. Regulation 3 amends that list.

The Report of the Occupational Pensions Board on the draft of these Regulations which was referred to them, together with a statement by the Secretary of State on that Report, is contained in Command Paper No. 2289, published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.

These Regulations do not impose any costs on business.
