The above figures do not include the pension entitlements of the CEO. Up to the end of March 2022, the CEO participated in a defined benefit scheme known as the Land Development Agency Superannuation Scheme 2022 created in accordance with the Land Development Agency (Establishment) Order 2018. Following dissolution of the interim LDA entity at the end of March 2022, this scheme ceased, and the CEO will move to an alternative pension scheme which is currently being drafted and will be in line with the standard template employment contract for CEOs of commercial State bodies.
