This Order, which comes into force on 1st October 1987, amends the Firemen’s Pension Scheme Order 1973 so as to provide that regular firemen, where eligible, may elect to purchase increases in the personal and dependants' benefits payable by a fire authority (“the authority”) under the Scheme set out in Appendix 2 to that Order (“the 1973 Scheme”) up to the limit allowed by that Scheme. Payment may be made by lump sum or periodical contributions.
