| Annotation | These Draft Regulations are laid before Parliament under paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 of the European Communities Act 1972, for approval by resolution of each House of Parliament. These Regulations, which are due to come into force on 1 October 2006, will prohibit unjustified age discrimination in employment and vocational training, and require all employers who set their retirement age below the default age of 65 to justify or change it. The Regulations also introduce a new duty on employers to consider an employee's request to continue working beyond retirement. The Schedules cover issues concerning occupational pensions schemes, amendments to unfair dismissal legislation (the Employment Rights Act 1996), and duty to consider working beyond retirement.
