Pensions Consultative Committee (PCC) - Terms of Reference

Location: P C C -> Terms Of Reference

  1. Functions of the PCC
    • Selection of three Member Nominated Directors (MNDs) from the PCC Membership to serve on the Board of Stanhope Pension Trust Limited.
    • Consult with telent and SPT on matters relating to the Plan and its members.
    • Assisting telent and SPT in the communication of information to members.
    • Representing the views of all Plan members as to matters affecting their interests.
  2. Elected Members

    The PCC generally consists of 24 members elected equally from the two member groups. The member groups are further sub-divided by geographical area as per the following table.

    Region
    Deferred Members
    Pensioners
    North

    4
    Midlands
    3
    6
    South

    These numbers may vary pending on actual nominations received. The Board of SPT has discretion to permit fewer than 24 members, if there are insufficient nominations. It may also, with the agreement of telent, permit slightly more than 24 if this were to avoid an unnecessary ballot.

  3. Elections
    • The Pensions Office acts as Returning Officer, with responsibility for the calling of nominations and the conducting of elections.
    • All Plan members may propose, for election to the PCC, either themselves or another Plan member belonging to their respective member group. Each nominee must be supported by four other Plan members from their own member group, but not necessarily from their own geographical area. Plan members may only give their support to one nomination and such nominations may be made either in writing or by e-mail.
