Local Government Pension Scheme (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Regulations 2015 (SSI 2015/448)
Agenda item 5 is consideration of a negative Scottish statutory instrument. Members will see from the clerk’s note that the instrument makes a number of updates to existing regulations, enabling payment of survivor benefits to survivors of same-sex marriages—I prefer the term equal marriage myself—and making provision for new shared parental leave. The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee has drawn the Parliament’s attention to a technical issue concerning a definition, which the Scottish Government has undertaken to resolve.
As members have no comments, is the committee content to agree that it has no recommendations to make to Parliament in relation to the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
