Decision details

Kathryn Haigh reported that the internal workshop on the Local Pension Partnership held on the 27th March 2017 at County Hall had been well attended and informative. She urged members of the Board to attend future workshops where possible as discussions would benefit from more attendees.

The Chair informed the meeting that the Pensions Regulator had given an interesting talk at the PLSA Local Authority Conference on the 15^th/17^th May 2017 though he stressed he felt the Regulator did not fully appreciate the differences between private pensions and the LGPS. 

The Public Service Governance and Administration Survey, which had recently been published by the Pensions Regulator, was discussed and the Board agreed that the findings should be discussed in more detail at the next meeting.

The Chair reported that the Local Pension Boards 'Two Years On' on the 28th June 2017 had involved interesting presentations from DCLG, CIPFA and the Pensions Regulator. He added that cyber security had also been discussed and stressed that a high level of security was essential in view of the personal information held by Pension Funds.

Resolved:

1.  That the report and feedback given by individual members of the Board is noted.

2.  That a report on the findings of the Public Service Governance and Administration Survey published by the Pensions Regulator be presented to the next meeting.
