EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 84 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 (c. 48) ("the 1993 Act") requires pensions and other benefits under occupational pension schemes to be revalued by the final salary method (which is dealt with in Schedule 3 to the 1993 Act). For the purposes of that revaluation, and as required by paragraph 2 of Schedule 3 to the 1993 Act, this Order specifies the necessary revaluation percentages for the purpose of the revaluation on, or after, 1st January 2019 of benefits under occupational pension schemes. It is not necessary to specify a lower revaluation percentage for revaluation periods which start before 1st January 2009.

This Order amends an existing regulatory regime by a pre-determined formula, and the administrative impact of its implementation is negligible. A full impact assessment is not necessary for such legislation.

(1)

1993 c.48; paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 3 was amended by section 101 of, and paragraphs 1 and 3(1) and (2) of Schedule 2 to, the Pensions Act 2008 (c.30).
