Scheme Advisory Board (SAB) Chair, Cllr Roger Phillips, has written a letter of welcome and asked for an early meeting with the new Local Government Minister, Jim McMahon MP. In his letter, Cllr Phillips gives the Board's view of the key priorities that await in the Minister's in-tray and also asks for urgent clarity on the status of the 1 April 2025 deadline for pooling assets that was set under the previous government. The priorities mentioned include remedying the gender pensions gap and improving the day-to-day stewardship of the scheme.

The Local Government Pension Scheme Advisory Board (SAB) has received a report it commissioned in 2022 looking into whether the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) may be unlawfully discriminating against those who have opted out on the basis of religious belief, primarily with regard to its consistency with Sharia law. The report, produced by Islamic finance expert Mufti Faraz Adam, concluded that as a part of the contractual arrangement between employer and employees, Muslim employees can as LGPS members contribute to and benefit from LGPS benefits. Supporting the conclusions, for example, given the principle of risk transfer is key when considering ownership in Sharia law, the report finds that the investment risk and legal ownership of the funds rests with the scheme employers and administering authorities in the LGPS and not with the employee. The report also notes that the funds making LGPS pension payments are largely derived from employer and employee contributions, sourced from local government funding or private-sector revenue (which are Sharia compliant), and from investment income.
