Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which apply to special constables appointed in Scotland, make provision for enhanced benefits in cases of death or total disablement resulting from an injury received by a special constable in the execution of his duty, similar to that made in relation to members of police forces by the Police (Injury Benefit) Regulations 1987.

These Regulations come into force on 28th October 1987 and have effect as from 25th November 1982. (Retrospective effect is authorised by sections 12 and 15 of the Superannuation Act 1972).
