  Public Service Pensions Bill - Schedule 1 - Persons in public service: definitions
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_Fire_and_Rescue_Service Defence Fire and Rescue Service], which is staffed by civilians, 
  
  MPs were considering the Public Service Pensions Bill[1]. The motion approved in this vote was:
  
  :That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 78.
  
  Amendment 78[2][3] stated:
  
  : Page 23, line 20, at end insertâ
  â(c)    the Defence Fire and Rescue Serviceâ
  
  This amendment added the Defence Fire and Rescue Service to those defined as Fire and rescue workers in Schedule 1[4] to the Public Service Pensions Bill, and so include them as "persons in public service" who the Bill affects. 
  
  Clause 9(2) of the Bill  provides that the normal pension age for firefighters, members of police forces, and members of the armed forces should be 60, rather than the personâs state pension age, or 65 if that is higher. 
  
  The rejected Lords amendment would have included Defence Fire and Rescue Service firefighters among those for whom the lower pension age of 60 would apply.
