These Regulations amend the rate of contributions payable by police pension authorities in respect of police officers in England and Wales. The rate will no longer be set out in the Police Pension Fund Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/1932, “the 2007 Regulations”) and the Police Pensions Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/445, “the 2015 Regulations”), but instead set at a rate determined by the Secretary of State after consultation with the scheme actuary. New paragraph (4) of regulation 174 of the 2015 Regulations provides that the Secretary of State must notify the scheme manager of the contribution rate and the date from which it will take effect.
