The Police Pensions (Additional Voluntary Contributions and Increased Benefits) (Pension Sharing) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2001
These Regulations mainly amend, in relation to police officers in Scotland, the Police Pension Additional Voluntary Contributions Scheme (“the AVC Scheme”), as set out in the Police Pensions (Additional Voluntary Contributions) Regulations 1991 (“the AVC Regulations”). The amendments relate to cases where police officers are divorced, and stem from the pension sharing provisions in the Welfare and Pensions Reform Act 1999 and associated subordinate legislation.
