Treasury written question – answered at on 21 November 2011.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer
(1) how many and what proportion of public sector workers (a) of each gender and (b) in each age group will receive an increased pension as a result of moving to a career average from a final salary pension scheme;
(2) how many and what proportion of public sector workers (a) of each gender and (b) in each age group will receive an increased pension as a result of the offer on public sector pensions made by the Government on 2 November 2011.
The Command Paper “Public Service Pensions: good pensions that last” set out the Government’s preferred scheme design for public service pensions. The next step is for trade unions to discuss this with the schemes and put forward any detailed alternatives which fall within the cost ceilings. The impact of the reforms on individual groups will depend on the final scheme designs agreed between the Government and trade unions.
As agreed with the trade unions, the Government will ensure that there is a full equality impact assessment before changes to public service pensions are implemented.
