The police pension schemes are locally administered by each police force, and the Home Office does not hold record level information.</p><p>Through the McCloud remedy, each eligible pension scheme member will make a personal choice, taking into account their own circumstances. Given this individual choice and associated complexities, it is not possible to assess the average impact for a member.</p><p>The 2015 police pension scheme is one of the most valuable available in the UK: backed by the taxpayer; index-linked; and offering guaranteed benefits on retirement, comparing very favourably to the typical private sector scheme.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 04/03/2024 16:30:53 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
