Public Service Pensions Bill — New Clause 3 — Entitlement to Remain Member of Public Sector Pension Scheme If Transferred to Contractor — 4 Dec 2012 at 15:30

The majority of MPs voted against allowing public sector workers who are transferred to a contractor outside of the public sector to be entitled to remain a member of their public sector pensions scheme.

MPs were considering the Public Service Pensions Bill.[1] The proposed new clause rejected in this vote, titled, "Fair deal" stated:

  • A member of a public service pension scheme is entitled to remain an active member of that scheme following—
  • (a) the compulsory transfer of his contract of employment to an independent contractor; and
  • (b) any subsequent compulsory transfer of his contract of employment.’.

During the debate Christopher Leslie MP stated[3]:

  • The new fair deal would ensure that all public service workers who were compulsorily transferred to an independent contractor, be it a private company, a charity or another third sector body, would be entitled to remain an active member of their public service pension scheme
