answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>The Department's consultation &quot;Fair Deal – Strengthening pension protection&quot; proposed strengthening the pensions protections that apply when workers are contracted out from their Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) employer. With some exceptions, we proposed that members should have a continued right to membership of the LGPS, in line with central Government Fair Deal policy. We also proposed the introduction of a new way for outsourced staff to participate in the scheme – ‘deemed employer’ status. The consultation closed on 4 April and elicited detailed comments from a variety of stakeholders, which my officials are considering carefully. A formal response will be published in due course.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 03/09/2019 14:46:59 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government is determined that lengthening the period between valuation cycle should not materially increase the risks that pension funds and their employers face.

uin	281718
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>It is for those in the area to consider whether a Pennine Lancashire unitary authority would be the best way forward, as my Rt Hon Friend, the then Secretary of State, told the House on 22 July 2019 (HCWS1790). If the area requests that we formally invite councils to submit a proposal for such an authority, we would do so if that request demonstrates local opinion is coalescing around a single unitary option for the area, which would be likely to meet our publicly announced criteria for unitarisation.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 03/09/2019 14:52:55 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
