The Pensions Committee of Hertfordshire Council met on Thursday, 9 January 2025. The meeting primarily focused on administrative matters, including the confirmation of previous minutes and the exclusion of the public for discussions on exempt information. A significant item, the LGPS Pooling Consultation: Fit for the Future, was discussed in private.

Part I Business

The committee confirmed the minutes from the previous Pensions Committee meeting held on 22 November 2024. Following this, the press and public were excluded from the remainder of the meeting. This exclusion was made under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, on the grounds that the upcoming business involved the likely disclosure of exempt information relating to financial or business affairs, and that the public interest in maintaining this exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosure.

Part II Business

The agenda for Part II of the meeting included the minutes from the Part II session of the 22 November 2024 meeting, and a report titled LGPS Pooling Consultation: Fit for the Future. Discussions on these items were held in private, and the outcomes are detailed in separate restricted minutes.
