The Minister for the Civil Service makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 1(1) and (2)(a), 2, 3 and 18(5) of the Public Service Pensions Act 2013^f1 (“the 2013 Act”).

In accordance with section 3(5) of the 2013 Act, these Regulations are made with the consent of the Treasury.

In accordance with section 21(1)^f2 of the 2013 Act, the Minister for the Civil Service has consulted the representatives of such persons as appear to the Minister to be likely to be affected by these Regulations.

The retrospective provisions contained in these Regulations do not appear to the Minister to have significant adverse effects in relation to the pension payable to or in respect of members of the scheme established by the Public Service (Civil Servants and Others) Pensions Regulations 2014^f3, nor in any other way in relation to members of that scheme. Accordingly, the procedures set out in section 23 of the 2013 Act are not applicable in respect of these Regulations.
