EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Parliamentary Commissioner's Pension Regulations 1967. The Parliamentary Commissioner has the right to elect, in accordance with those Regulations, between two statutory pension schemes: the judicial scheme and the civil service scheme. Under the Superannuation Act 1972 the statutory civil service scheme is to be replaced by a scheme set out in non-statutory documents. These Regulations make the necessary consequential amendments to the 1967 Regulations.
