Section 2 Relevant public service pension schemesC1C2C3C4I1I2I3
For the purposes of section 1, a pension scheme is a relevant public service pension scheme if it falls within subsection (2) or (3).
A scheme falls within this subsection if it is a public service pension scheme within the meaning of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 (see section 1(1) of that Act).
A scheme falls within this subsection if it is—
a scheme under section 1 of the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 (new public service schemes),
a new public body pension scheme (as defined in section 30 of that Act), or
a statutory pension scheme which is connected with a scheme referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) (and for this purpose “statutory pension scheme” and “connected” have the meanings given in that Act; see sections 37 and 4(6) of that Act).
But a scheme does not fall within subsection (3) if it is a scheme specified in an order made under section 318(6)(b) of the Pensions Act 2004 (schemes excluded from definition of “public service pension scheme”).
