11th May 2021 Public Service Pensions and Boycotts Bills in Queen’s speech

Today the government’s legislative programme was laid out and as expected a Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Bill was announced that will deal with the amendments necessary to incorporate the McCloud judgment into public service schemes including the LGPS. The Bill is UK wide in scope.

The programme also includes a Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions Bill the purpose of which will be to stop public bodies from taking a different approach to UK Government sanctions and foreign relations and will cover purchasing, procurement and investment decisions. The gov.uk website includes a briefing note on the full programme.
