As residents, workers, students and trade unionists in the Borough of Lambeth we are appalled that (according to research carried out by Palestine Solidarity Campaign) Lambeth Council hold at least £27.3 million* of their Local Government Pension Scheme in companies complicit in Israel’s oppression and illegal occupation of the Palestinian people.
We demand that, with immediate effect, Lambeth Council:
• Disclose full details of its current Local Government Pension Scheme holdings
and;
• Divest from all funds complicit with Israel and its genocide, occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people.
*Figure updated to £27.3 million on 27/11/24 to reflect latest information provided by Palestine Solidarity Campaign as based on a December 2023 FOI. Previously cited £10.4 million figure was based on a December 2021 FOI.
