hansard heading	Public Sector: Strikes
house id	2
legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the average daily savings in pension contributions employers have made on days lost to strike action in the public sector, including strike action in the rail and postal sectors.
tabling member printed	Lord Porter of Spalding
uin	HL5364
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/02/2023 answer text <p>For members of public service pension schemes, strike days count as unpaid leave, and employer and member contributions are based on actual pay. Part of the reduction in paybill caused by industrial action in the public sector, as well as rail and postal sectors, will thus be due to reductions in employer pension contributions. The Government has not made a central assessment of this figure, which will depend on a number of factors such as the exact number of staff within a given workforce who are on strike on a given day and the typical amount of pensionable earnings foregone.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 15/02/2023 13:06:12 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn
