Firefighters’ Pension (Wales) Scheme (1992) and New Firefighters’ Pension Scheme (Wales) (2007)

This consultation paper sets out the employee contribution tariffs designed to deliver a 1.28 percentage point increase, on average, across the two firefighters’ pension schemes from 1 April 2013. The proposed increase for 2013-14 does not change the benefits provided by either of the firefighters’ pension schemes, which remain among the best available. 

Longer-term reform of the firefighters’ pension schemes from April 2015, as set out in the Proposed Final Agreement, will continue to be discussed with the trade unions and employer representatives before being consulted on.
