Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Police Regulations 1987. Regulation 3(2) ensures that police authorities may make advances of pay to members of police forces. The provision in respect of removal allowance is amended by regulation 3(3), (4) and (5) , so as to increase eligibility for the reimbursement of mortgage interest or rent, increase the maximum amount payable in respect of incidental expenditure and clarify the meaning of certain reimbursable expenses. Paragraphs (3), (4) and (5) of regulation 3 have effect from 20th March 1991 (retrospection is authorised by section 33(4) of the Police Act 1964), if the move took place on or after that date.
