The Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) (Pension Sharing) Regulations 2001
These Regulations amend the main pension scheme and the AVC scheme (constituted by Regulations under the Parliamentary and other Pensions Act 1987) for Members of the House of Commons and certain office holders specified in that Act. The effect of the amendments is to enable pension sharing orders and similar provisions to be implemented in respect of those schemes pursuant to the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 (the Act).
