<p>The Home Office has estimated with the Government Actuary’s Department that the
cost of retaining benefits for all police survivors would increase the police scheme
liabilities by around £144m. It is estimated that retaining benefits for all police
survivors, including reinstatement of pensions already surrendered, would increase
the police scheme liabilities by around £198m.</p><p>The Home Office does not hold
information on the number of survivors’ pensions surrendered on remarriage or cohabitation,
as police pensions are administered at police force level by the relevant Police Pension
Authority.</p>
