Fire and Rescue Services: Local Government Pension Scheme

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the changes to the Local Government Pension Scheme on levels of industrial action by municipal firefighters.

Answered by Alex Norris

Proposed changes to the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) are not expected to lead to industrial action by firefighters. Non-uniformed staff of local fire and rescue services are members of the LGPS but firefighters have their own separate pension scheme, the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme.
