(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 1st October 1997, specify the circumstances in which a person may present a complaint to an industrial tribunal in respect of his service in the armed forces, notwithstanding that he would otherwise be precluded from making such a complaint by section 7A(5) of the Equal Pay Act 1970 (which requires a person to go through the service redress procedures before making a complaint to an industrial tribunal).
