Public Sector: Workplace Pensions

Asked by Ben MaguireLiberal DemocratTreasuryTabled Answered 26 March 2026UIN 122446

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when her Department expects all eligible retired members of public service pension schemes under its responsibility to receive their McCloud remedy payments; and what steps she is taking to expedite payments to affected pensioners.

Answered by Torsten Bell

Scheme managers of the individual public service pension schemes are responsible for ensuring the effective delivery of the McCloud remedy to affected members. I have written to scheme managers to remind them of their responsibilities to implement the remedy as quickly as possible and ensure that scheme members and the Pensions Regulator are kept informed of progress and plans.
