These Regulations amend the Local Government (Discretionary Payments) Regulations 1996 ("the 1996 Regulations"). Regulation 1 sets out the effective dates of the changes. Section 24(3)(c) of the Superannuation Act 1972 provides that regulations made under that section may be framed so as to have effect from a date earlier than the making of the regulations. Regulation 4 provides that the retrospective effect of the amendments cannot operate to anyone's detriment.
Regulation 2 makes an amendment to the definition of "employing authority" to include the same bodies as were included before the amendment of the 1996 Regulations by the Local Government Pension Scheme (Transitional Provisions) Regulations 1997.
Regulation 3 makes amendments to Part II of Schedule 2 to the 1996 Regulations to take account of changes to the structure of educational establishments made by the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.
