The Management Committee | British Transport Police Force Superannuation Fund

The Management Committee makes decisions on behalf of the Trustee

The Trustee delegates some of its powers to the Management Committee (‘the Committee’) to make decisions concerning the governance and membership of the Fund. The Committee in turn sub-delegates to Railpen many day-to-day administrative and operational activities, to ensure the smooth running of the Fund.

There are 12 members who sit on the Management Committee:

Six members of the Committee are appointed by the principal employer, the British Transport Police Authority (BTPA)
Three members of the Committee are appointed by the British Transport Police Federation (BTP Federation)
Two members are elected by pensioners of the Fund
One member is appointed by the Chief Constable after consultation with representatives of the ranks not represented by the British Transport Police Federation

Committee members appointed by the BTPA remain in position until they resign or the BTPA terminates their appointment.

Committee members appointed by the BTP Federation remain in position until they resign, cease to be a member of the Fund or the BTP Federation terminates their appointment.

The Committee member appointed by the Chief Constable after consultation with the ranks not represented by the BTP Federation remains in position until they resign or cease to be a member of the Fund.
