Question 183: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that school traffic wardens are the only local authority employees excluded from the pension provisions of the local government superannuation scheme; his views on whether the exclusion of school traffic wardens from the pension provisions of this scheme is an equality issue, in view of the fact that employees in this industry are primarily female.

Arising from the package of public service pension reforms agreed by the Government in September 2004, revised pension arrangements for part-time local authority employees, including a right of access to the local government superannuation scheme for all such employees, including school traffic wardens, were notified to local authorities by my Department in December 2005. It is now a matter for each local authority to implement the terms of the revised arrangements for part-time employees.
