These Regulations may be cited as the Police Cadets (Pensions) (Amendment) Regulations 1987.

In the Police Cadets (Pensions) Regulations 1973[^f00005], after Regulation 7 there shall be inserted the following Regulation—

(7A) (1) This Regulation shall apply where a police cadet dies or has died as the result of an injury received without his own default in the execution of his duty as a police cadet and, in such case, shall apply— (a) to a parent or (without prejudice to the following sub-paragraph) to a brother or sister of the police cadet who had attained the age of 19 years before the police cadets death, or (b) subject to his having attained the age of 19 years, to any child of the police cadet, whether or not he had attained that age before the police cadets death, being a person who was substantially dependent on the police cadet immediately before his death (hereinafter referred to as a dependent relative). (2) A dependent relative to whom this Regulation applies may be granted a special pension if the police authority, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, in their discretion so determine, and Regulation 36 of the principal Regulations[^f00006] and Part XIII thereof shall apply as if the police cadet had been a regular policeman at the time that he received the injury.

Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Police Cadets (Pensions) Regulations 1973 with effect from 25th November 1982 (retrospection is authorised by sections 12 and 15 of the Superannuation Act 1972). They provide for the payment, at the discretion of the police authority, of a dependent relative`s special pension in case of death resulting from an injury received by a police cadet in the execution of duty, similar to that payable in the case of a regular policeman under the Police Pensions Regulations 1973.
