Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a suggestion that I want to put on record. I am saying this because of the transition. The transition says that we collapse the Local Authority Pension Fund (LAPFUND) and the Local Authorities Pensions Trust (LAPTRUST) to one pension scheme. Others are suggesting that we can retain both pension schemes under one law.
