EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These regulations provide for the merger of the local government pension funds held by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (“Richmond”) and the London Borough of Wandsworth (“Wandsworth”). From 1st October 2016 Richmond is no longer required to maintain a fund for the purposes of the Local Government Pension Scheme. All assets and liabilities relating to the fund held by Richmond up to that date are transferred to Wandsworth which becomes the appropriate administering authority for all members of the Scheme for whom the appropriate administering authority was previously Richmond.

Section 3(3) of the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 allows regulations to make retrospective provision.

No impact assessment has been produced for these Regulations because no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
