The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of Defence Sector exclusions within the Parliamentary Pension Scheme portfolio and whether this is compatible with Government defence sector financial objectives.

The Parliamentary Contributory Pension Fund is independent from government and investment decisions are a matter for the scheme’s trustees.
