EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This Note is not part of the Regulations, but is intended to indicate their general purport.)

These Regulations amend the Police (Scotland) Regulations 1956.

Regulations 3 and 8 provide for increased scales of pay for inspectors, sergeants and constables including a special scale of pay for constables

appointed, after 30th November 1964, at the age of 22 years or over (the special scale also applies to constables serving on that date if or when they have attained that age).

An unmarried member of a police force has hitherto been entitled to a maximum limit allowance for rent if, among other conditions, he or she is 35 years of age. Regulation 4 reduces the age limit to 30 years.

Regulations 5, 6 and 7 provide for increased rates of detective duty allowance (payable to inspectors, sergeants and constables on outside detective duties) and for payment of a supplementary detective allowance where the prescribed average overtime duty performed is 8 hours a week or more.
