These Regulations, which come into force on s1st December 1987, amend the Police Pensions (War Service) (Transferees) Regulations 1985 ("the 1985 Regulations" ) with effect from 1st April 1978 (the date as from which the 1985 Regulations had effect: retrospection is authorised by section 1(5) of the Police Pensions Act 1976).

Regulation 2(2) enlarges the categories of policemen specified in regulation 9 of the 1985 Regulations (in respect of whom an additional transfer value may be paid to permit war service to reckon in another scheme) so as to include a policeman in respect of whom no transfer value had been paid but who nevertheless was entitled to reckon service as a member of a police force for the purposes of the public service pension scheme to which he transferred.

Regulation 2(3) substitutes a new paragraph for regulation 9(4) of the 1985 Regulations in order to correct an error in the definition of "public service" .
