Amendments 2 and 3 and new clause 4 relate to what the LGPS should or should not invest in. As hon. Members will all be aware, the Government’s general position is that investment strategies are set locally by each pension fund. Importantly, that includes decisions on how environmental, social and governance issues are to be taken into account. I encourage LGPS authorities to take such matters incredibly seriously, as my hon. Friend the Member for Truro and Falmouth (Jayne Kirkham) did from her own experience.
