# The Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Parliamentary Pensions (Consolidation and Amendment) Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/3253), which were made under the Parliamentary and other Pensions Act 1987 (c. 45) (“the 1987 Act”) and set out a pension scheme (“the Scheme”) applying to Members of Parliament and holders of certain offices. The 1987 Act was amended by SI 2006/1640 so that, with effect from 5th July 2006, regulations made under the 1987 Act can apply to the Speaker of the House of Lords.
The amendments made by these Regulations allow the holder of the office of Speaker of the House of Lords to participate in the Scheme with effect from 5th July 2006. Section 2(4)(b)(i) of the 1987 Act authorises the making of provisions taking effect from a date earlier than the date the Regulations are made.
