Police: Workplace Pensions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to address the pension shortfalls experienced by police officers who, affected by the McCloud judgement, are classified as being in Immediate Detriment.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
While the Home Office has responsibility for overarching policy and legislative changes to the police pension regulations in England & Wales, the police pension scheme is locally administered by individual police forces. The Home Office is working with the policing sector to support the effective implementation of the McCloud remedy for all affected individuals.
It is for each Chief Constable, in their role as scheme manager for their force, to determine their administrative timetable, including when remedy payments will be distributed.
The devolved governments have overarching policy and legislative responsibility in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
