  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations (which apply in England and Wales) amend the Police Regulations 1995 (“the principal Regulations”).\nRegulation 2 of these Regulations amends regulation 6 of the principal Regulations to set out adaptations as respects the ranks in the Metropolitan and City of London police forces. These amendments make provision for the rank of assistant commissioner in the City of London police force (which rank is referred to in other legislative provisions). Reuglation 3 makes changes consequential on this change.\nRegulation 4 amends regulation 40 of the principal Regulations which concerns temporary salary when a member of a police force acts for a member of a higher rank. The revocation of paragraph 7(b)(ii) of Schedule 3 to the principal Regulations (by regulation 7 of these Regulations) is consequential on this change and the remainder of regulation 7 of these Regulations omits a modification from Schedule 3 which is unnecessary.\nRegulations 5, 6 and 8 of these Regulations (which, by virtue of regulation 1(2)(a) and (b), are retrospective) increase certain allowances. Regulation 9 makes provision for the pay of chief constables and assistant chief constables in provincial forces and commanders in the Metropolitan and City of London police forces and an assistant commissioner in the latter force. This provision is also retrospective. Retrospection is authorised by section 33(4) of the Police Act 1964.",
