Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Bill

Moved by

Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede

34: Schedule 1, page 85, line 11, leave out “75” and insert “72”

Member’s explanatory statement

This would set the judicial retirement age in the Judicial Pensions Act 1959 to 72, rather than 75. This is a probing amendment to raise the issue of the appropriate retirement age for the judiciary.
