The Local Government Pension Scheme (Transitional Provisions) Regulations 1997
These Regulations are supplemental to the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 1997 (S.I. 1997/1612) (“the 1997 Regulations”) which set out the pension arrangements of the Local Government Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”) from 1st April 1998 (“the commencement date”). These Regulations make provision for the transition from the arrangements for the Scheme set out in the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 1995 (“the 1995 Regulations”), and the other regulations specified in Schedule 1 to these Regulations, to those set out in the 1997 Regulations. They revoke provisions of the 1995 Regulations relating to administration of the Scheme (which are replaced by provisions in Part IV of the 1997 Regulations) for all members of the Scheme and revoke the other provisions for those who are members in their employment on that date (“active members”). But they provide for the continuation of certain provisions of the 1995 Regulations for members who are not then active members.
