Following consideration of the responses, the government has confirmed the steps it will be taking to resolve the McCloud age discrimination in respect of the Local Government Pension Scheme (England and Wales).
Powers to implement this approach were contained in the Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022, which received Royal Assent in March 2022.
Original consultation
Summary
We are consulting on proposals to remove age discrimination from the Local Government Pension Scheme in England and Wales (LGPS).
This consultation ran from
16 July 2020 to 11:45pm on 8 October 2020
Consultation description
The courts have found transitional protections given to older members in the judicial and firefighters’ pension schemes directly discriminated against younger members in those schemes.
In line with a government commitment to remove the difference in treatment from all public service pension schemes with similar protections, we are seeking views on proposals that would extend LGPS statutory underpin protection to younger members of the scheme.
