To consider a report from the Clerk of the Authority, which seeks approval for the Terms of Reference of the Firefighters’ Pension Board for the new Combined Fire Authority of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight (HIWFRA) which will come into effect from the 1 April 2021.

The Authority considered a report from the Clerk (item 13 in the minute book), which requested approval for the Terms of Reference of the Firefighters’ Pension Board for the new Combined Fire Authority of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight (HIWFRA) which will come into effect from the 1 April 2021.

This would allow the new CFA to set up a Pension Board to take place in April and also permit Isle of Wight Members to join along with the current Hampshire Fire & Rescue Authority Members.

Going forward, the Pension Board would become a Hampshire & Isle of Wight Board and have a cross section of Scheme and Employer representatives from across the Combined Fire Service.

RESOLVED

a) The Shadow Authority approved the proposed Terms of Reference for the HIWFRA Firefighters’ Pension Board as set out at Appendix A.

b). The Shadow Authority approved the membership of the HIWFRA Firefighters’ Pension Board as set out in paragraphs 6 - 7 of the report, and appointed the representatives set out in paragraph 7 above for 4-year terms, to take effect from the 1 April 2021 in accordance with the HIWFRA Firefighters’ Pension Board Terms of Reference as set out at Appendix A
