Unpacking the Mansion House speech and Autumn Budget

Overview

Watch our webinar on-demand where Robbie McInroy is joined by Iain Campbell, Susan Black and Ian Colvin, to share their thoughts and key takeaways from Chancellor Rachel Reeves' first budget, delivered on 30 October, and their immediate thoughts on the Mansion House speech. 

We've compiled the following briefing note in response to the speech.

• LGPS consultation – pooling, local investment, and Good Governance 

Amid heightened speculation and concerns over potential tax rises and spending cuts, the budget offered few direct changes for pensions. However, there were two items in the budget that are likely to be of particular interest to LGPS funds:

• The Government’s consultation to bring unused pension benefits and death grants into scope for inheritance tax purposes.

• The switch in the measure of public debt for its fiscal targets, which now includes the LGPS.

We’ve compiled three briefing notes to help consider these areas. 

• Autumn Budget 2024 – Implications for the LGPS from inheritance tax changes
• Autumn Budget 2024 –  LGPS inclusion in fiscal targets – what might it mean

Who should attend?

This webinar will be aimed at LGPS audience only.
