   Legislative history

   1--Short title

   These regulations may be cited as the Superannuation (Electricity
   Industry Pensioners) Regulations 2001.

   2--Commencement

   These regulations come into operation on the day on which they are
   made.

   3--Interpretation

   In these regulations--

   the Act means the Superannuation Act 1988;

   electricity industry pensioner or pensioner means a person who has been
   transferred from the Electricity Industry Superannuation Scheme to the
   State Scheme under clause 2(1) or 3(3) of Schedule 1B of the Act.

   4--Notional pension when determining spouse pension

   Where--

   (a) before the transfer of an electricity industry pensioner to the
   State Scheme the pensioner had commuted part of his or her pension on
   the basis that the commutation would not be taken into account when
   determining the amount of the pension payable to the pensioner's
   spouse; and

   (b) the pensioner dies and is survived by a spouse who is entitled to a
   spouse pension under the Act,

   the notional pension for the purpose of determining the spouse's
   pension will be the pension that the electricity industry pensioner
   would have been receiving immediately before his or her death if the
   commutation referred to in paragraph (a) had not occurred.
