  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  @ MP voted aye to allow public sector workers who are transferred to a contractor outside of the public sector to be entitled to remain a member of their public sector pensions scheme.
  @ MP voted no against allowing public sector workers who are transferred to a contractor outside of the public sector to be entitled to remain a member of their public sector pensions scheme.
  
  The majority of MPs voted against allowing public sector workers who are transferred to a contractor outside of the public sector to be entitled to remain a member of their public sector pensions scheme.
  
  MPs were considering the Public Service Pensions Bill.[1] The proposed new clause rejected in this vote, titled, "Fair deal" stated:
  
  :A member of a public service pension scheme is entitled to remain an active member of that scheme followingâ
  :(a) the compulsory transfer of his contract of employment to an independent contractor; and
  :(b) any subsequent compulsory transfer of his contract of employment.â.
  
  During the debate Christopher Leslie MP stated[3]:
  :The new fair deal would ensure that all public service workers who were compulsorily transferred to an independent contractor, be it a private company, a charity or another third sector body, would be entitled to remain an active member of their public service pension scheme
