Pension increases under the Pensions (Increase) Acts

L19.—(1) Where a pension, within the meaning of the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971(1) (“the 1971 Act”), has become payable out of a pension fund maintained under these Regulations—

(a)any increase of the pension under the 1971 Act or the Pensions (Increase) Act 1974(2), shall be paid out of that pension fund;

(b)Schedule 3 to the 1971 Act shall only have effect in relation to any such increase—

(i)where the last employing authority is not a body which is required by regulation L12 to contribute to that pension fund nor a Water Act Company;

(ii)where the last employing authority is such a body or Company and the increase was payable before 1st April 1990; or

(iii)where the last employing authority ceases after 31st March 1990 to be such a body, only so far as the cost of any such increase has not, in the opinion of the fund’s actuary, already been provided for by contributions paid under regulation L12.

(2) Where in relation to any such pension the last employing authority is a Water Act Company, the cost of any increase of the pension under the 1971 Act or the Pensions (Increase) Act 1974, payable on or after 1st April 1990 shall be reimbursed to the appropriate administering authority by the National Rivers Authority out of the new main fund (within the meaning of the Local Government Superannuation (National Rivers Authority) Regulations 1993(3)).

(3) The amounts due to an administering authority under paragraph (2) or under Schedule 3 to the 1971 Act shall be paid to them at such intervals of not more than 12 months as the authority may determine, and, if all or part of any sum so due remains unpaid at the end of the period of one month after the date on which it becomes due, the administering authority may require the authority from which it is due to pay interest on the amount remaining unpaid, calculated and compounded as mentioned in regulation L12(4); and the administering authority shall carry and credit to their pension fund the amounts paid to them under paragraph (2), Schedule 3 to the 1971 Act and this paragraph.

(4) For the purposes of this regulation “the last employing authority” has the same meaning as in paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 3 to the 1971 Act, except that in its application to a pension which has become payable to or in respect of a person in relation to service with—

(a)a body specified in Schedule B4, which has entered into an admission agreement,

(b)a body employing persons deemed to be in employment by virtue of paragraph 5 or 6 of Schedule B3, or

(c)a body which is a company under the control of a body described in Part I of Schedule B1,

it means that body.

(5) In this regulation “Water Act Company” means—

(a)a company nominated in accordance with section 4 of the Water Act 1989(4) as the successor company of a water authority, or

(b)a company nominated by order under section 83(1) of that Act.
