| | Consents required for civil service compensation scheme modifications |
|
| |
| | |
| To move the following Clause:— |
|
| | ‘(1) | Section 2 of the Superannuation Act 1972 is amended as follows. |
|
| | (2) | In subsection (3), at the beginning insert “Subject to subsection (3A) below,”. |
|
| | (3) | After subsection (3) insert— |
|
| | “(3A) | Subsection (3) above does not apply to a provision which would have the |
|
| | effect of reducing the amount of a compensation benefit except in so far |
|
| | as the compensation benefit is one provided in respect of a loss of office |
|
| | or employment which is the consequence of— |
|
| | (a) | a notice of dismissal given before the coming into operation of |
|
| | the scheme which would have that effect, or |
|
| | (b) | an agreement made before the coming into operation of that |
|
| | |
| | |
| | “compensation benefit” means so much of any pension, allowance or |
|
| | gratuity as is provided under the civil service compensation scheme by |
|
| | way of compensation to or in respect of a person by reason only of the |
|
| | person’s having suffered loss of office or employment; |
|
| | “the civil service compensation scheme” means so much of any scheme |
|
| | under the said section 1 (whenever made) as provides by virtue of |
|
| | subsection (2) above for benefits to be provided by way of compensation |
|
| | to or in respect of persons who suffer loss of office or employment. |
|
| | (3C) | In subsection (3B) above a reference to suffering loss of office or |
|
| | employment includes a reference to suffering loss or diminution of |
|
| | emoluments as a consequence of suffering loss of office or employment.” |
|
| | (4) | The amendments made by this section apply in relation to reductions to which |
|
| | effect is given by a scheme made under section 1 of the 1972 Act after the coming |
|
| | into force of this section. |
|
| | (5) | Subsection (6) applies if— |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
| | (a) | a scheme under section 1 of the 1972 Act is made after this section comes |
|
| | |
| | (b) | consultation on the proposed scheme took place to any extent before this |
|
| | |
| | (6) | The fact that the amendments made by this section were not in force when that |
|
| | consultation took place does not affect the question whether the consultation |
|
| | satisfied the requirements of section 1(3) of the 1972 Act.’. |
|
| |
| | |
| Title, line 5, at the end insert ‘; and to make provision modifying the effect of section 2(3) |
|
| of the Superannuation Act 1972 in relation to such benefits’. |
