Explanatory note

Schedule 1 to the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967 gives holders of the office of Parliamentary Commissioner the right to elect between two statutory pension schemes—the judicial scheme and the civil service scheme. These Regulations prescribe the manner in which the election is to be made. They also contain provisions relating to the application of the civil service scheme to a Parliamentary Commissioner, the aggregation of service as Commissioner under the judicial scheme with other service under that scheme, and the application of the judicial scheme to a Commissioner who has had previous service under the civil service scheme.
