Explanatory note

These Regulations further amend the Police Regulations 1987, with effect from 1st April 1990 (retrospection is authorised by section 33(4) of the Police Act 1964).

Regulation 49B of the 1987 Regulations, as amended by the Police (Amendment) Regulations 1990 (S.I. 1990/401), provides for certain police officers to receive a transitional rent allowance, usually of an amount equivalent to that of the officer’s rent allowance as at 31st March 1990. Regulation 4 of these Regulations amends regulation 49B so that the transitional rent allowance of a member of a police force whose rent allowances were last increased in 1988 will be increased by an amount calculated by reference to movements in the retail prices index between the relevant date in 1988 and 1st April 1990.

Regulations 5 to 9 of these Regulations make drafting corrections to provisions substituted by the Police (Amendment) Regulations 1990, and effect no change of substance.
