The Cumbria Pensions Committee is responsible for managing the Cumbria Local Government Pension Scheme on behalf of Westmorland and Furness Council, acting as the Administering Authority. This involves fulfilling statutory duties related to the pension fund, ensuring it operates in line with the Local Government Pension Scheme regulations and other relevant legislation. The committee's primary aim is to carry out these functions, upholding fiduciary duties owed to both employers and members of the pension fund, and must not allow personal interests to conflict with these responsibilities.
