EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends nine Statutory Instruments concerning occupational and personal pensions, revokes one such Instrument and amends one Statutory Instrument concerning employment equality. These changes are consequential upon the abolition of safeguarded rights by section 100 (abolition of safeguarded rights) of the Pensions Act 2008 (c.30). This Order removes references to safeguarded rights in secondary legislation concerning occupational and personal pensions.

This Order has a negligible beneficial impact on the private and voluntary sectors. An assessment of the impact is included in the impact assessment that accompanied the Pensions Act 2008. Copies of that assessment are available in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament and may also be obtained from the Better Regulation Unit of the Department for Work and Pensions, 7F Caxton House, Tothill Street, London SW1H 9NA or from the DWP website: http://www.dwp.gov.uk/resourcecentre/ria.asp.
