Decision details

(Exempt information as defined in Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act, 1972.  It was considered that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information)

The Committee considered a report on a revised Employer Discretions (Statement of Policy) and associated retirement policies.

The introduction of the new Local Government Pension Scheme 2014, on 1 April 2014, required all scheme employers to review their existing discretionary pension policy statements, setting out the pension discretions they choose to exercise.

The Committee was informed that a review of the Council's discretionary pension policy statement had been undertaken and a revised Statement of Policy and associated policy documents had been produced for consideration by the Committee.

Resolved:  That the revised Employer Discretions (Statement of Policy) and the associated Business Efficiency, Early and Flexible Retirement Policies, as set out at Appendices 'A' to 'D', be approved.
