EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Police Federation Regulations 1969 by substituting a new regulation 16(4). Under the previous regulation 16(4), where a branch board of the Police Federation held funds exceeding specified amounts at the end of any year, the board was required to pay the excess to the appropriate central committee and, after making such payment, it was permitted to pay such sum as it thought fit to the joint branch board.
The new regulation 16(4) revises the amounts specified in the previous regulation. It also amends the provision setting out how a branch board is to use funds it holds at the end of any year in excess of the revised specified amounts. The board may pay such amount of the excess as it thinks fit to the joint branch board and shall pay any amount remaining of the excess to the appropriate central committee.
These regulations revoke regulation 3 of the Police Federation (Amendment) Regulations 1975, which also substituted a new regulation 16(4) in the Police Federation Regulations 1969.
