Commentary on Sections Part 5 – Miscellaneous Section 80: Public service pension schemes
250.This section makes a small amendment to Schedule 5 of the Public Service Pensions Act 2013, to ensure that the pension schemes relating to the Security Service and Secret Intelligence Service are not caught within that Act’s definition of “existing scheme” and so forced to close on 1 April 2015. It is brought into force upon Royal Assent by section 89, to ensure that no risk of forced closure of the Security Service and Secret Intelligence Service schemes arises on 1 April 2015.
