These regulations amend the Royal Ulster Constabulary Reserve (Full-Time) Pensions Regulations 1994 by inserting new paragraphs in regulation 4 of those regulations.

New paragraphs (5A), (5B) and (8) cater for increases made in certain maxima by the Occupational Pension Schemes (Preservation of Benefit) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1991 (S.R. 1991 No. 37) and for any future increases in them. New paragraph (5C) augments the increased pension payable during the first 13 weeks of widowhood by adding to it the equivalent of any replacement allowances in lieu of the former housing or similar allowances that had been payable to the deceased.
