Consultation description
This consultation covers a range of proposals relating to the Local Government Pension Scheme in England and Wales (‘the LGPS’).
The government believes that the LGPS is a good pension scheme which should be available to all those who provide the services for which local government is responsible. It provides security in older age for millions of members who have spent their lives in public service, many of whom have been low paid throughout their working lives. Much of this consultation focusses on equal access to the scheme and its benefits.
