Scottish Parliamentary Pensions Act 2009
The motion on the Scottish Parliamentary Pensions Act 2009 modifies the parliamentary pensions scheme by changing the scheme rules, which are set out in schedule 1 to the Scottish Parliamentary Pensions Act 2009, and by modifying the transitional arrangements that have been made for the transfer of the scheme from the transitional order under the Scotland Act 1998 to the 2009 act.
The committee is considering the motion under rule 8.11A. Under that rule, we are obliged to determine whether the attention of the Parliament should be drawn to any issue that would constitute a reporting ground for an instrument and to report to the Parliament accordingly. Our advisers spotted that the original motion contained a mistake that might cause confusion, which has resulted in a revised motion being lodged. Our advisers have not raised any concerns about the revised motion. Is the committee content with the revised motion?
Members indicated agreement.
