The Special Constables (Pensions) (Amendment) Regulations 1980
These Regulations amend the Special Constables (Pensions) Regulations 1973 with effect from 1st September 1978 (retrospective effect is authorised by sections 12 and 15 of the Superannuation Act 1972). The effect of the amendment is to provide that the awards under those Regulations which have to be calculated by reference to rates of pensionable pay of regular constables for any period after 31st August 1978 and before 1st May 1979 are to be calculated by reference to the higher rates of pensionable pay prescribed for that period by the Police Pensions (Amendment) Regulations 1980.
