The States are asked to decide:
Whether, after consideration of the Policy Letter entitled 'Minor Amendments to Social Security Legislation', dated 2nd July 2018, they are of the opinion:
1. That the Social Insurance (Guernsey) Law, 1978, as amended, shall be further amended:
a. to ensure that, while pensionable age increases incrementally
from 65 to 70 between 2020 and 2049, the pension average
period in the calculation of entitlement to old age pension
remains at 45 years;
b. to allow a death grant to be paid in respect of a still-born child;
2. To direct the preparation of legislation as necessary to give effect to these proposals.
The above Propositions have been submitted to Her Majesty's Procureur for advice on any legal or constitutional implications in accordance with Rule 4(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the States of Deliberation and their Committees.
