As an amendment to S4M-01348 in the name of Mary Scanlon (The Role of the Public Sector), leave out from “accepts" to end and insert “believes that pensions must be fair, sustainable and affordable; considers that the 3.2% increase in contributions proposed by the UK Government is a cash grab that has more to do with deficit reduction than fair pensions; acknowledges that these increases come at a time when households are under financial pressure due to rising costs, and encourages the Scottish Government to continue to engage in full and extensive dialogue with trades unions and employers’ representatives on the future of pension provisions.”
