Consultation Launched
The Government has launched a formal consultation on proposals to remove age discrimination from the Local Government Pension Scheme in England and Wales (LGPS).
This consultation seeks views on changes to the Local Government Pension Scheme in England and Wales (LGPS). It outlines proposed changes to the LGPS statutory underpin protection to remove unlawful discrimination found by the Courts in relation to public service pension scheme 'transitional protection' arrangements.
The consultation will last for 12 weeks from 16 July 2020 to 8 October 2020. A copy of the consultation can be found on the gov.uk website, and this includes details on how to respond.
