<p>The scope of the cap is guided by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) independent
classification of public sector bodies. The ONS determines whether a body falls within
the public sector by reference to objective criteria based upon governance, funding,
ownership and function. Magnox Ltd is classified as a public sector body by the ONS
classification guide.</p><p> </p><p>We are undertaking staged implementation of the
cap, with the first stage capturing: the UK Civil Service, non-departmental public
bodies, executive agencies, non-ministerial departments, the National Health Service,
academy schools, local government, and police forces. The cap on exit payments will
then be extended to the rest of the public sector including Magnox Ltd, as guided
by ONS classification, in due course.</p>
