Further consultation on the Fair Deal policy

Following an initial consultation in March 2011 the government confirmed via a Written Ministerial Statement on 4 July 2012 that the overall approach to the Fair Deal would be retained, but that this would be delivered by offering access to the public service schemes for staff compulsorily transferred out of the public sector. In November 2012 the government published its response to the consultation which set out its position in more detail.
