Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

These regulations amend the Royal Ulster Constabulary Pensions (Additional Voluntary Contributions) Regulations 1993.

Regulation 2(2) reflects increases made in certain maxima by the Occupational Pension Schemes (Preservation of Benefit) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1991 (S.R. 1991 No. 37).

Regulation 2(3) requires the Police Authority to comply with the relevant provisions of the Requirement Benefit Schemes (Restriction on Discretion to Approve) (Additional Voluntary Contributions) Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/3016), regulation 4 of which restricts the discretion of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue to approve retirement benefit schemes which are free-standing additional voluntary contribution schemes where the rules of the scheme do not require the administrator of the scheme to comply with the requirements of that regulation and, so far as applicable, of regulation 6 of those regulations.
