Superannuation Bill

 

Consents required for civil service compensation scheme modifications

 

Francis Maude

 

NC1

 

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

 

scheme.

 

(3B)    

In this section—

 

“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—

Superannuation Bill, continued

 
 

(a)    

a scheme under section 1 of the 1972 Act is made after this section comes

 

into force, and

 

(b)    

consultation on the proposed scheme took place to any extent before this

 

section came into force.

 

(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.’.

 

Francis Maude
