Dear Mr Chilman,
TRANSFER OF PENSION TO NEW SEGREGATED BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE
PENSION (Scotland)
I am a retired Scottish British Transport Police Officer. I am a member of the British Transport Police Superannuation Fund.
I am aware that the Trustees are potentially to be asked to transfer me into a new segregated and protected (Scottish) British Transport Police Superannuation Fund.
I do not give the Trustees my consent to use my personal existing pension allowance in this manner.
I completed my pensionable service within British Transport Police as a member of the British Transport Police Superannuation Fund. That was my contract with B.T.P.
I did not join, and never was told that in the future, on completion of my pensionable contract invested with you, that I could be moved from my existing and successfully funded scheme to a new and much smaller fund.
I therefore would ask you take my personal view into consideration, which is, that I strongly object to my personal funds being transferred and used in this manner to create a new (Scottish) fund.
Yours Sincerely

Dear Mr Chilman,
TRANSFER OF PENSION TO NEW SEGREGATED BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE
PENSION (Scotland)
I am a retired English and Wales British Transport Police Officer. I am a member of the British Transport Police Superannuation Fund.
I am aware that the Trustees are potentially to be asked to transfer our Scottish colleagues into a new segregated and protected (Scottish) British Transport Police Superannuation Fund.
This transfer will make my own fund smaller. At no time have I been consulted on this or had it explained to me.
As a stakeholder and pensioner, I do not approve of the Trustees removing money from the main BTPSF to set up a separate BTP Scottish pension fund.
I ask you take my personal view into consideration when considering the proposal which is being put before you.
Yours Sincerely
