The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of local government restructuring on the Local Government Pension Scheme.

Answered by Jim McMahon

Local government reorganisation will have impacts on the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) and may require the transfer of various functions, including the responsibility for administering an LGPS fund to a different authority. Member benefits are guaranteed in statue and will not be affected.
