<p>Budget 2016 identified expected pressures on employer contributions to public service
pensions of £2 billion. The Home Office communicated with the National Police Chiefs
Council on the issue shortly after Budget 2016, explaining the need to consider the
matter within the wider context of the imminent scheme valuation. The scheme valuation,
carried out by the Government Actuary’s Department, is ongoing. Budget 2018 confirmed
additional funding for expected costs in excess of the level envisaged at Budget 2016.
Government will review police spending power and further options for reform at the
provisional police funding settlement in December.</p>
