Councillors in England will be allowed back into the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), communities secretary Steve Reed has announced.

Speaking to a Local Government Association fringe event at the Labour Party conference, Reed reversed the rules that banned councillors from the LGPS in 2014 under the Conservative Government.
