Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Special Constables (Pensions) (Scotland) Regulations 1966 which give to special constables and their dependants certain pension benefits for which members of police forces and their dependants are eligible. The Police Pensions (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 1969 provide that a widow of a member of a police force shall qualify for an augumented award where her husband's death results from an injury received while saving, or preventing loss of, human life.

These Regulations make similar provisions as respects the widow of a special constable.
