Dear Sirs,
Ref: GMB/Unison members loss of statutory right of appeal against
decisions of LPFA
As ex-president of the Hoskyns Group PLC branch of GMB, Vauxhall
Cross, London,
I am writing to you with documentation of my case, which shows that
our members
have lost the above mentioned right.

During the abolition of the Greater London Council, some of our
members were
transferred by statutory transfer to the London Residuary Body with
the right
of final appeal to John Prescott as minister of state for the DETR.
The previous right
of appeal had been to three councillors of the GLC for terms and
conditions and pensions.

When John Prescott tranfered the responsiblity for the London Pension
Fund Authority to
Ken Livingstone Mayor of Greater London, no mention was made of the
statutory right of
appeal of your members. A judicial review would ask what the intent of
the legislators
was. Was it to transfer the whole job or part of the job? The right of
your members
could be deemed to still exist even though not written.

The contact for the Greater London Authority on this matter is given
as the Senior Legal
Officer as documented below.

Please do not hesitate to contact me about any further information.
Thank you,
Tony Lance
