Appendix 2
S.I. 2018/537
Public Service (Civil Servants and Others) Pensions (Amendment) Regulations 2018
1.The Committee has requested a memorandum on the following point:
As this instrument corrects drafting errors and introduces new provisions, did the Department agree with the Statutory Instrument Registrar as to whether free replacement copies ought to be provided (paragraph 4.7.6 of Statutory Instrument Practice (5th Edition, November 2017))?
2.The Regulations amended the Public Service (Civil Servants and Others) Pensions Regulations 2014 (the 2014 Regulations) (S.I. 2014/1964). The Regulations included amendments to reflect new policy, as well as corrections and clarifications. Given the balance between these different types of amendments, and the passage of time since the 2014 Regulations, the Cabinet Office did not consider the procedure for free issue. However, having reviewed the guidance in paragraph 4.7.6, the Cabinet Office will now consult the SI Registrar about the best way to proceed.
