These Regulations amend the Royal Ulster Constabulary Pensions Regulations 1988 and the Royal Ulster Constabulary Pensions (Purchase of Increased Benefits) Regulations 1988. The amendments include provision for part-time members' pension benefits to be calculated as if they had been full-time members, and then pro-rated for periods of part-time service. This replaces the previous basis of calculation under which part-time working counted as pensionable service on the basis of the actual hours served. This disadvantaged part-time members because the reckonable service is accrued at a faster rate after 20 reckonable years.
