This Order amends the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme, as set out in schedule 2 of the Firemen’s Pension Scheme Order 1992.
Article 2 removes the obligation on firefighters to pay contributions for the period after they have reckoned the maximum permissible pension entitlement until they reach age 50, the minimum age to draw benefits. The change takes effect from 1st December 2006 and does not affect contributions in relation to additional pension benefit.
Article 3 makes provision for the repayment of any relevant contributions that have been paid between 1st December 2006 and the date this Order comes into force.
