Chair's introduction (9.30 - 9.35) Minutes: -
The
Chair welcomed everyone to the meeting. No apologies had been received. -
The
Chair updated the Board on a possible date for a meeting between the bodies
with responsibility for determining Members’ remuneration of the four UK
legislatures. All Board members except one indicated their availability to
attend this meeting. -
The
Chair informed the Board that a letter has been sent to the Pension Board to
seek its views on proposed changes to the Members’ Pension Scheme Rules, to
ensure Members’ pension contributions and benefits will not be reduced as a
consequence of purchasing a car via the Commission’s Electric Vehicle Salary
Sacrifice Scheme. -
The
Board were also reminded that a general review of the Rules is needed to ensure
they are up to date, for example to ensure the language used in gender-neutral.
The Board agreed this review should be undertaken as the same time as the Rules
are reviewed in respect of the Electric Vehicle Scheme. -
The
Board were notified that a change to the Pension Scheme Rules may also be
required in respect of late retirement. The Pension Board will provide
information to the Board on this matter. -
The
Board agreed in principle to instruct External Lawyers, Eversheds, to make all
such changes to the Pension Scheme Rules, subject to cost and the work being
completed by the end of the financial year.
-
The
Board agreed to delegate responsibility for agreeing such Pension Rules changes
to Mike Redhouse (as the lead Board member on pension matters) and the Chair. -
The
minutes of the 2 February meeting were agreed. |
