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. The majority of the agenda was conducted in private session, with the public excluded for discussions on exempt information.

Minutes

The committee confirmed the minutes of the previous meeting held on 22 November 2024 as a correct record. These minutes were then signed by the Chairman, Councillor A D Williams.

Exclusion of Press and Public

The committee resolved to exclude the press and public from the remainder of the meeting. This decision was made under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, on the grounds that the following items of business involved the likely disclosure of exempt information relating to financial or business affairs. The public interest in maintaining the exemption was deemed to outweigh the public interest in disclosing the information.

Part II Agenda

Following the exclusion of the public, the committee moved to Part II of the agenda. This included agreeing the Part II minutes from the meeting on 22 November 2024. A significant item discussed in this closed session was the LGPS Pooling Consultation: Fit for the Future, as detailed in a report from the Director of Finance. The outcomes of these discussions are not publicly available.
