LOCAL GOVERNMENT PENSION SCHEME

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the successful discussions between Government and public sector trade unions on future pension provision; notes that the retirement age will normally remain at 60 years for present employees; acknowledges that, given an ageing population, pension changes are necessary for the future; believes that these changes are best achieved by meaningful discussion between employers and employees; and looks forward to an early and successful settlement on the Local Government Pension Scheme.
