Civil Servants: Pensions

Volume 505: debated on Wednesday 3 February 2010

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what amendments to the Civil Service Compensation Scheme will come into force on 1 April 2010. (314554)

I propose to make amendments to the Civil Service Compensation Scheme shortly, to introduce new terms from 1 April 2010. The new terms will be fair and affordable, and, following effective discussions with the trade unions will take particular account of the position of the lowest paid. I intend to lay the amendments before the House very shortly. They will, as the Prime Minister pledged last year, save up to £500 million over the next three years.
