EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Regulation 2 amends the Police Pensions Regulations 1987 (“the 1987 Regulations”) to give senior police officers the right to retire on or after reaching the age of 50 years, if they give 6 months notice to the police authority and are not subject to any disciplinary proceedings. This amendment has effect from 1st April 2004 until 30th September 2006. Retrospective effect is permitted by section 1(5) of the Police Pensions Act 1976.
Regulation 6 amends the 1987 Regulations to allow a police authority to disapply the regulation which limits the size of lump sum for which a police officer with less than 30 years’ service can commute his or her pension, in the limited circumstances where the officer retires one day before reaching 30 years’ service, and below the age of 50.
The remainder of the Regulations make various amendments to the 1987 Regulations to make the wording more consistent with that of the Police Pensions (Scotland) Regulations 2007 as well as minor amendments to those Regulations.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
