Intelligence Services: Workplace Pensions

Asked by John GlenConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 1 November 2024UIN 10989

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether individuals of pension age receiving a pension from the security and intelligence services are able to accrue a civil service pension if employed by the civil service.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The security and intelligence services' pension scheme is separate from the Civil Service Pension Scheme. It is possible for an individual, in receipt of benefits from the pension scheme for the security and intelligence services, to accrue a Civil Service pension if employed in the Civil Service, and then receive a pension from both schemes when they retire.
