Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Police Pensions (Remediable Service) (Scotland) Regulations 2023 (“the 2023 Regulations”). They correct minor errors in the 2023 Regulations. Regulation 10 makes new provision for a member who would have been able to transfer in service to the scheme established by the Police Pensions Regulations 1987 or the Police Pensions (Scotland) Regulations 2007 during the relevant period. Such service may now be transferred in provided certain conditions are met.

The 2023 Regulations relate to provisions set out in the Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022 (c. 7) to remedy the unlawful discrimination on the basis of age that was found to result from the transitional protections afforded to certain cohorts of members of legacy pension schemes (the schemes established by the Police Pensions Regulations 1987 and the Police Pensions (Scotland) Regulations 2007 .
