Purpose of the consultation
At
its meeting on 4 July the Remuneration
Board undertook its third consideration of part two of its review of the
Determination for the Sixth Assembly. This part of the review focuses on the

change some rules of the Members’ Pension Scheme. Full details of the Board’s
proposals are detailed in the consultation document.
