The Local Government Reorganisation (Pensions etc.) (Greater Manchester and Merseyside) Order 1987
This Order gives effect to proposals made by the Greater Manchester Residuary Body and the Merseyside Residuary Body for the transfer of the responsibility for pension and certain related compensation functions from those bodies to the councils of the boroughs of Tameside and Wirral respectively (article 2 and the Schedule). Subject to certain exceptions (paragraph 3 of the Schedule), the compensation matters transferred concern compensation for loss of office or employment and loss or diminution of emoluments. The costs which will fall on those councils and which are not otherwise recoverable by them are to be shared with the councils of the other districts in each county (article 3).
