Trafford receives a response from the pension fund on Gaza, arms and human rights
In November 2024, Trafford’s Green Party brought a motion to council looking at Greater Manchester’s pension fund investments in the arms trade, as well as companies implicated in breaches of human rights, violations of international law, and working in occupied territories.
A response to our motion has now been received from Tameside Council, Greater Manchester Pension Fund.
