<p>Neither the policy responsibility nor administrative responsibility for police
pension scheme falls to the Department of Work and Pensions. There have, therefore,
been no such discussions.</p><p>The relevant legislation provides that all eligible
members will be given a choice to remedy the discrimination set out in the McCloud
judgment and that information should be provided to eligible members by 31 March 2025.
Adjustments to individual members’ benefits are an administrative matter, and the
police pension scheme is locally administered by each of the separate police forces
in England and Wales (policing is a devolved matter in Scotland and Northern Ireland).</p><p>The
Home Office has policy responsibility for the police pension scheme but does not have
any role in the administration of police pensions. Information on the progress of
forces with the remedy process is therefore not held centrally.</p>
