EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 9 of the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 (c.25) applies to public service pension schemes established under that Act which require a revaluation of pensionable earnings, or a proportion of such earnings accrued as a pension, by reference to a change in prices or earnings (or both) in a given period.

In relation to the period 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021 inclusive, article 2 of this Order specifies an increase in prices of 0.5 per cent, based on a measure of the year on year change in the Consumer Prices Index to September 2020; and an increase in earnings of 2.4 per cent, based on a measure of the year on year change in average weekly earnings to September 2020.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
