21st July 2022 New ministers for the LGPS

We understand that Paul Scully MP will be the new minister for Local Government and will therefore take up responsibility for the LGPS. We expect that the change of minister, and the process of electing a new Conservative party leader / Prime Minister, may lead to some delays in current workstreams, however we will continue to work with the Department to minimise those as much as possible. The Board Chair, Cllr Phillips, has written to the minister to welcome him to his new role. The Chair previously wrote to the new Secretary of State, Greg Clark MP, seeking an assurance that the consultation on TCFD reporting can proceed as planned for the Autumn, if not sooner. Information on Greg Clark can be found here.
