Local Government Pension Scheme: Councillors
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 18 November 2025, to Question 88665, on Local Government Pension Scheme: Councillors, if he will make it his policy to amend secondary legislation to ensure that local residents are informed of any pension payments in the annual statement of payments to councillors.
- Answer
-
The government believes transparency in local government is the foundation of local accountability, and this extends to councillors. The consultation on pensions for mayors and councillors is still open and so no final decisions have been taken, but I will consider the Rt Hon. Member’s suggestion.
