Explanatory note

These Regulations provide that a member of a police force transferred thereto under the Policing of Airports Act 1974 shall, if the Secretary of State so directs, be entitled to elect to receive an ad hoc allowance at a rate determined by the Secretary of State instead of a rent allowance under the Police Regulations 1971.

The Regulations have effect as from 1st November 1974 (the date on which the Policing of Airports (Heathrow) (First Supplementary) Order 1974 (S.I. 1974/1672) came into operation). Retrospection is authorised by section 33(4) of the Police Act 1964.
