Correction slip
This document is a formal correction notice for The Local Government Pension Scheme (Elected Member Pensions) (Consequential Amendment) Regulations 2026, specifically addressing two typographical errors found on page 2 of the original instrument concerning the inserted sub-paragraph (3B) to ensure correct cross-referencing and precise legal wording regarding allowances.
Arguments For

Arguments Against
