Section 9 of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2013 provides that persons retiring before 31 August 2014, or a later date made by Order under the Act, will be entitled to have their pensions calculated as if the pay reduction and any increment pause or freeze had not applied to them. Following my considerations under Section 9 of the Act, I decided to extend the grace period from 31 August 2014 to 30 June 2015. I signed the Order giving effect to my decision on 29 April 2014.
