The Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme, the Civil Service Additional Voluntary Contribution Scheme, the Civil Service Compensation Scheme and the Civil Service Injury Benefit Scheme are some of the schemes which have been made under section 1 of the Act.\nThis Order adds employment by the three general lighthouse authorities (the Trinity House Lighthouse Service, the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses, and the Commissioners of Irish Lights), and employment by the House of Commons Commission, to the list of employments in Schedule 1 to the Act. This addition makes the persons employed by those bodies eligible to be members of schemes made under section 1 of the Act, subject to the rules of those schemes.\nAn impact assessment has not been prepared for this Order as no impact upon the costs of business or the voluntary sector is foreseen.",
