Explanatory note

This Order amends the Pensions (Miscellaneous Offices) (Preservation of Benefits) Order 1977; it supersedes and revokes the Pensions (Miscellaneous Offices) (Preservation of Benefits) (Amendment) Order 1986. It makes it clear that the preserved pension of a holder of an office listed in the Schedule to that Order is to be calculated by reference to his salary immediately before retirement (subject to any increases made pursuant to the Pensions Increase legislation) rather than by reference to the salary he would have been earning had he retired at the time when the pension became due for payment.
