Local Government: Workplace Pensions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether her Department has had discussions with London CIV Local Government Pension Scheme pool on the divestment policies it is adopting.
Answered by Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government
The department regularly speaks to London CIV as it does with all LGPS pools.
The Department published statutory guidance on Investment Strategy Statements on 29th June 2026 which can be found here. As this set out, LGPS pools are responsible for implementing the investment strategies which their partner administering authorities have set, and strategies should not set exclusions for investments in individual countries, investment styles or companies.
