(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the definition of “compulsory retirement age” for the voluntary early retirement scheme for the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the Police Service of Northern Ireland Reserve (Full-Time) and for the compulsory early retirement scheme for the Police Service of Northern Ireland Reserve (Full-Time) in order to correct an ambiguity in the case of a person who was serving in the Police Service of Northern Ireland Reserve (Full-Time) both before and after 1 July 1994. Regulation 2(3) corrects an error in the Police Service of Northern Ireland and Police Service of Northern Ireland Reserve (Full-time) (Severance) Regulations 2003.
Regulations 2(1) and (2) and 3 have effect from 1 October 2006. Regulation 2(3) has effect from 1st January 2001. This is possible because Articles 14 and 15 of the Superannuation (Northern Ireland) Order 1972 provide for regulations to have effect before they are made.
