Consultation description

This consultation proposes to revoke and replace the Local Government Pension Scheme (Management and Investment of Funds) Regulations 2009.

The proposals include:

• introducing safeguards to ensure that the more flexible legislation being discussed is used appropriately
• guidance on pooling assets is followed
