Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Police Regulations 1987. Regulation 3(2) provides a procedure for the resolution of a difference of medical opinion as to an officer’s fitness to return to duty after a period of sick leave. Regulation 3(3) provides for officers of the rank of superintendent and above to be reimbursed the cost of first-class rail travel on duty. Regulation 3(4) increases London weighting for university scholars with effect from 1st July 1987 and again from 1st July 1988 (retrospection is authorised by section 33(4) of the Police Act 1964). Regulation 3(5) corrects a minor anomaly to ensure that officers who are promoted gain financially thereby.
