These Regulations amend the Local Government Superannuation Regulations 1986. They provide for the contributions and remuneration for pension purposes of women on maternity leave. These Regulations implement in respect of the local government superannuation scheme and maternity leave the requirements of the Directive on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in occupational social security schemes (86/378/EEC; OJ No. L225, 12.8.86, p. 40). Regulation 2 is by virtue of section 12 of the Superannuation Act 1972 made retrospective to 1st January 1993. Regulation 3 confers a right for a person, in certain circumstances, to opt that these Regulations shall not apply to her.
