answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2018 answer text <p>Where a ministerial department is responsible for the appropriate pension scheme, it is for them to determine, in accordance with Managing Public Money (July 2013, Annex 4.11), whether and how overpayments are to be recovered. If departments determine that it is not feasible to recover overpayments, they will need to bring the resultant losses to parliament’s attention. In the case of the local government pension scheme, decisions on whether and how to recover overpayments are matters for the relevant local authority.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 29/03/2018 12:02:11 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
