As at 31 March 2017 we had Wakefield. Les had a relatively short period on the fund having 284,820 members and 422 employers across the UK. Our largest been appointed in 2011, but Graham was appointed in 2003, employers are the five West Yorkshire councils – Bradford, and gained significant knowledge and experience over those Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield. years, contributing to the investment strategy debates and playing a full part in the success of the fund. 2016/17 proved to be a volatile year for investment, with the Brexit vote and US elections confounding the polls once again. I trust you will find the Report and Accounts interesting and However, the fund ended the year with a value of £13.6 billion, informative, as it demonstrates that the fund remains financially an increase of over 22%. While markets were generally higher sound, and will provide financial security in retirement for its at the end of the year, a major contributor to this was weaker 250,000 members. sterling following the Brexit vote. As a significant owner of overseas assets (much of the UK stock market consists of companies with substantial overseas assets) the fund has benefitted from this weakness, and will continue to do so, offsetting the weaker environment in the UK. The fund received the result of the actuarial valuation at 31 March 2016, which, after setting even more conservative assumptions for future expected returns, shows a funding level of 94%, a reduction of just 2%. This will demonstrate the consistent success of the long-term investment strategy adopted by the fund, which will have one of the highest funding levels within the LGPS. The government requires LGPS funds to pool their assets in Councillor Andrew Thornton order to achieve cost efficiencies on investments. Having the lowest cost of investments of all the LGPS funds, we concur Chair with the objectives, although we will benefit less than the average fund from the process. We are working with our Joint Advisory Group and pooling partners, two other large, efficient metropolitan funds, Investment Advisory Panel Greater Manchester and Merseyside, to develop the Northern Pool. The Northern Pool has met all the deadlines set by the government, and in respect of investing in infrastructure, one of the pooling criteria, we are well ahead of the pack, having an operational programme with £1.4 billion to invest. On pensions administration we continue to improve our systems, and our dedicated staff deliver a high-quality service at a very low cost. As part of our desire to share this low cost with others we have a joint service arrangement which includes Lincolnshire Pension Fund and seven fire and rescue authorities across the country. We have also been appointed to the National Framework for the provision of administration services to the LGPS, which enables other schemes to share in our low-cost, high-quality service provision. The quality of both the investment and administration teams is clearly demonstrated in what I have covered above, so it gives me great pleasure to thank them on behalf of the Joint Advisory Group and Investment Advisory Panel for all they do for scheme members and employers.

During the 2016 calendar year the board has met in March 2016 and November 2016. Board members have attended numerous training events, seminars, conferences and activities on issues relating to local government pension schemes and overriding legislation in order to broaden their depth of knowledge. The Local Pension Board was set up in such a way to ensure knowledge and understanding of the board is maintained at all times by appointing half of the members for an initial two-year period instead of the usual four years. This approach will ensure board members are replaced on a rolling programme and therefore new members of the board will have access to a wealth of knowledge from the experienced board members. We have had a busy first two years and as there are a number of significant issues affecting the Local Government Pension Scheme on the horizon, I expect the work of the board to be busy going forward.

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.
