John Apter, National Chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales said: \u201cToday we have received the decision of the Supreme Court which has refused the Government leave to appeal the decision of the Court of Appeal which had previously held the transitional pension arrangement for Firefighters and Judges were illegal on the grounds of age discrimination.<\/p>\n
“And while I appreciate the demand for immediate answers, we have to wait for the Government to respond to the Supreme Court\u2019s announcement, analyse their decision and establish what it means for all our members. What I can tell you is that the Police Federation along with other key stakeholders in policing are meeting on Monday \u2013 July 1st \u2013 to discuss the implications of this ruling. We will update you as soon as we have more information.<\/p>\n
“Please understand this is a highly complex matter, and we won\u2019t have answers for you immediately \u2013 but as soon as we do we will let you know.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
