Bulletin 12: MHCLG special severance payments consultation

I wish to bring it to your attention that last week MHCLG published a consultation on “New Best Value Statutory Guidance” covering special severance payments for local authorities in England. You can find the draft statutory guidance and covering letter from MHCLG on the Scheme Consultations | LGPS Regulations. The six-week consultation will close on 13 August 2021.

MHCLG welcomes responses from all interested parties. They are particularly keen to receive responses from the bodies listed in the annex to the covering letter. This list includes public sector scheme employers.
