The Pensions Increase (Civil Service Pensions) Regulations 1974
These Regulations apply the Pensions (Increase) Act 1974 to pension payable under the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme.

The Regulations specify those pensions under the scheme (“Class A pensions”) which are payable in respect of service in a grade of the civil service which suffered deferment of a pay increase in consequence of the Counter-Inflation (Temporary Provisions) Act 1972 during the period 6th November 1972 to 31st March 1973; these pension will consequently be increased in accordance with Part I of the Schedule to the 1974 Act. All other pensions under the scheme (“Class B pensions”) will be increased in accordance with Part II of the Schedule to the Act.
