These Regulations further amend the Social Security (Employed Earners' Employments for Industrial Injuries Purposes) Regulations 1975 in respect of employment as a member of any international headquarters or defence organisation designated under section 1 of the International Headquarters and Defence Organisations Act 1964 (c. 5). Under the 1975 Regulations such employment is not treated for the purposes of industrial injuries benefit as being employed earner's employment except where the person in that employment is ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom. These Regulations amend the exception by inserting a requirement that such employment should be liable for contributions under the Social Security Act 1975.
