  "text": "These Regulations make provision in relation to pensions of the metropolitan civil staffs whereby the basic rate of certain of those pensions may be increased under the Pensions (Increase) Act 1974. Regulation 6 modifies the operation of the Act in relation to any pension which, exceptionally, falls to be calculated by reference to the pay immediately before retirement, instead of by reference to the average pay over a period, so that no increase is payable on such pensions which begin after the specified relevant date.\nThe Regulations have effect from 1st December 1973 by virtue of provision made under section 4(3)(a) of the Act.",
