The Police Federation (Amendment) Regulations 2015
These Regulations amend the Police Federation Regulations 1969 to give members of police forces the choice as to whether to be a member of the Police Federation of England and Wales. These Regulations also require the Federation to inform prospective members of this choice, and that they have a choice as to whether or not to pay subscriptions to the Police Federation. These Regulations impose a liability to repay a member’s subscriptions if the Police Federation did not notify them of these choices, unless the member in question elects to waive their right to be repaid. Finally, it imposes greater disclosure obligations on the Federation in relation to all monies held by the Federation and its branches and committees.
