1.—(1) These Regulations may be cited as the Police Pensions (Miscellaneous Amendments)

(b) regulations 3, 7, 8 and 11 have effect from 7th October 2013;

(3) These Regulations extend to Scotland only.
(a) 1976 c.35. Section 1 was amended by section 2(3) of the Police Negotiating B oard Act 1980 (c.10), section 1(1) of the
Police and Firemen’s Pensions Act 1997 (c.52) and paragraph 12 9 of Schedule 16 to the Police Reform and Social
Responsibility Act 2011 (c.13). These powers were extended by section 42 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999
(c.30). The functions of the Secretary of State as regards Scotland were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by the Scotland
Act 1998 (Transfer of Functions to the Scottish Ministers etc.) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1750), article 2 and Schedule 1. The
requirement for consent by the Minister for the Civil Service under section 1 was transferred to the Treasury by virtue of
S.I. 1981/1670, and such consent is not required in the exercise by the Scottish Ministers of the transferred fu nctions by
virtue of S.I. 1999/1750 and section 63 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46).
(b) See section 61 of the Police Act 1996 (c.16) and section 2(3) of the Police Negotiating Board Act 1980 (c.10), which
substituted the Police Negotiating Board for the United Kingdom for the Police Council for the United Kingdom. Section
131 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 (c.12) abolishes the Police Negotiating Board, but this
provision remains to be commenced in relation to Scotland.
