2 The Superannuation and Family Benefits Act 1938 was repealed by the State Superannuation Act 2000 but its provisions continue to apply in relation to certain schemes because of the State Superannuation (Transitional and Consequential) Act 2000 s. 26; and those provisions may be amended by regulations under subsection (3) of that section.
