Parliamentary
Motion by Jamie Hepburn MSP
*S3M-1372 Jamie Hepburn: Pension
Rights for Injured Firefighters—That the
Parliament welcomes the decision by the Scottish Government
to issue new guidance on protecting the pension rights
of firefighters disabled in the line of duty; believes
that the previous system whereby seriously injured firefighters
assessed as fit to carry out desk duties could lose their
pension rights even if no alternative post could be found
for them was inherently unfair, and congratulates the
Fire Brigades Union for its success in campaigning for
this new guidance |
