Teachers’ Superannuation and Pension Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2023 (SSI 2023/190)
Welcome back. We move to the second item on our agenda, which is consideration of two pieces of subordinate legislation.
The first is the Teachers’ Superannuation and Pension Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2023, which amends the Teachers’ Superannuation (Scotland) Regulations 2005 and the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (Scotland) (No 2) Regulations 2014 to introduce, for independent schools, a phased withdrawal from the Scottish teachers’ pension scheme. The instrument is being considered under the negative procedure.
No member wishes to comment. Is the committee agreed that it does not wish to make any recommendation in relation to the instrument?

Teachers’ Pensions (Remediable Service) (Scotland) Regulations 2023 (SSI 2023/241)
The second instrument is the Teachers’ Pensions (Remediable Service) (Scotland) Regulations 2023. It implements a remedy to the reforms of the Scottish teachers pension scheme under the Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022 and mitigates the impact of the roll-back of the legacy scheme to allow members to choose their personal benefits for the period between 1 April 2015 and 3 March 2022.
This instrument is also being considered under the negative procedure. It has been made with the consent of the Treasury.
