Civil Servants: Workplace Pensions
Asked by: Siân Berry (Green Party - Brighton Pavilion)
Thursday 21st May 2026

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of Capita's ability to operate the Civil Service Pension contract under its current terms when the recovery plan concludes.

Answered by Satvir Kaur - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

The Cabinet Office awarded the contract to administer the Civil Service Pension Scheme to Capita in November 2023 under the previous government.

The issues and delays facing a number of civil servants and pension scheme members in receiving their pension quotes are unacceptable. I want to reassure you that this Government has taken firm action to help put things right as soon as possible. We have agreed on a clear recovery plan with Capita, which includes specific milestones and accountability targets for delivery. For priority cases, we have deployed additional resources and improved communication with affected colleagues, so that staff, both former and serving, receive the quality of service and support they deserve.

Existing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have been enhanced and strengthened to deliver improved performance and higher penalties for failure, including financial penalties. These have already been applied in respect to Capita's performance with recent issues and delays in administering the Civil Service Pension Scheme.

The Cabinet Office has mandated Capita that they must restore service levels by the end of June 2026. We are using every commercial lever at our disposal, including withholding payments for deliverables that have not been met. We also reserve the right to take further formal action to ensure the service returns to the required standards. This will continue throughout the contract to ensure Capita’s contractual requirements are delivered.

The government has deployed surge resources to increase capacity at Capita, including a Civil Service surge team of approximately 140 people. Capita has also increased its resources, now operating with 500 full-time staff, which is a 50% increase compared to the previous pension administrator. Resources will continue to be monitored post recovery to ensure there are adequate and appropriately skilled resources in place to deliver services.

Interest will be paid on delayed benefits to avoid financial loss by members. In addition, the existing statutory complaints process evaluates claims for financial losses, as well as distress and inconvenience caused, on a case-by-case basis to determine whether compensation is due. This ensures that any retiree who provides evidence of extra costs, such as bank penalties or interest charges caused by the delay, is fairly assessed. This process is run in accordance with the standards set by the Pensions Ombudsman. and no estimate is available.

Regular updates on the work to recover the service, continue to be posted on the Civil Service Pensions member portal and on Gov.Uk.

Asked by: Adam Dance (Liberal Democrat - Yeovil)
Thursday 21st May 2026

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the need to take further action following Capita's confirmation of a data breach on the Civil Service Pension Scheme portal in April 2026.

Answered by Satvir Kaur - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

The administration of the Civil Service Pension Scheme is the responsibility of the Cabinet Office. The Cabinet Office awarded the contract to administer the Civil Service Pension Scheme to Capita in November 2023 under the previous government.

These have already been applied in respect to Capita's performance with recent issues and delays in administering the Civil Service Pension Scheme.

The Cabinet Office has addressed the data breach of 30 March 2026, where a technical failure during a surge of 60,000 access requests allowed 138 members to view others' benefit statements. Investigations confirmed this was a session management malfunction and not a cyber-attack.

Following the Cabinet Office’s notification to the Information Commissioner’s Office, Capita performed a root cause analysis and strengthened system controls to prevent a recurrence. The Cabinet Office has further mandated that Capita provide formal accounts to the Public Accounts Committee and the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee to ensure the provider remains fully accountable for the security of member information.

AUKUS: Disclosure of Information
Asked by: Ben Obese-Jecty (Conservative - Huntingdon)
Thursday 21st May 2026

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what progress he has made in publishing the unclassified public version of the UK AUKUS review report by Sir Stephen Lovegrove.

Answered by Dan Jarvis - Secretary of State for Defence

Sir Stephen Lovegrove submitted his classified report at the end of 2024. A version was also shared with the US and Australian governments, both of which have conducted their own reviews of AUKUS over the past 18 months. In order to protect the confidentiality of inputs received from US and Australian contributors and others consulted during the review, it was decided that it would not be appropriate to publish the report. This is consistent with the approach taken by the US and Australian governments in their reviews.

The government accepted the recommendations made by Sir Stephen and he has made a number of public appearances since then in which he has set out his headline findings and the actions being taken in response. They include measures to underpin delivery of the “Optimal Pathway” by accelerating production across the UK Submarine Industrial Base; to jointly clarify and focus the pursuit of Advanced Capabilities under Pillar II; and to strengthen the UK’s cross-government leadership and co-ordination arrangements across both pillars. The associated actions are all either complete or well underway.

The government has also made a landmark £6bn investment in the UK Submarine Industrial Base to drive an 18 month submarine production drumbeat. The Prime Minister has been clear that the UK is "all in" on delivering against our AUKUS commitments and that he regards it as a strategic partnership which is fundamental to the UK's NATO-first approach and to Trans-Atlantic burden-sharing.

There are currently no unfilled roles with no recruitment process.

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether Jonathan Powell has held meetings with Grandview Institution since November 2024.

Answered by Dan Jarvis - Secretary of State for Defence

The National Security Adviser meets with a range of individuals and organisations as part of his role providing advice to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet on national security matters. Such meetings are often sensitive in nature, and the Government does not routinely comment on them or their content.

Government Departments: Security
Asked by: Mike Wood (Conservative - Kingswinford and South Staffordshire)
Thursday 21st May 2026

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will publish the current HMG Security Policy Framework.

Answered by Dan Jarvis - Secretary of State for Defence

The current Security Policy Framework (SPF) was published in 2014. There are no plans to update it as this has been superseded by the publication of the functional standards in 2020, which include a specific functional standard for security (GovS 007). This can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-functional-standard-govs-007-security

National Security: Infrastructure
Asked by: Ben Obese-Jecty (Conservative - Huntingdon)
Thursday 21st May 2026

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the a) National Security Strategy and b) Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill on private sector Critical National Infrastructure operators.

Answered by Dan Jarvis - Secretary of State for Defence

The government is working tirelessly with groups across society, including operators of critical national infrastructure, to make the UK a harder target for hostile actors and to deliver growth.

Strategies such as the National Security Strategy 2025, which consolidated several national security reviews and audits including the Resilience Action Plan into one framework, are critical to this work. The government engages with a range of stakeholders, considers assessments and analysis from think-tanks, academics, industry and parliamentary reports, to ensure the ambitions of these strategies are deliverable for industry and other groups across society.

The Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill will strengthen the UK’s cyber defences and ensure the essential and digital services the public relies on are more secure. The government is continuing to engage closely with industry to ensure the Bill is robust and deliverable, and we will consult stakeholders on our plans for secondary legislation in due course. In addition, the Resilience Action Plan included a commitment to map standards across the CNI landscape, which will provide an overview of the resilience requirements placed on CNI sectors and their cumulative impacts.

Civil Servants: Workplace Pensions
Asked by: Freddie van Mierlo (Liberal Democrat - Henley and Thame)
Thursday 21st May 2026

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps his department is taking to ensure that civil servants awaiting pension payments as part of the remaining backlog do not experience financial hardship while Capita works toward the June 2026 deadline.

Answered by Satvir Kaur - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

The Cabinet Office awarded the contract to administer the Civil Service Pension Scheme to Capita in November 2023 under the previous government.

The issues and delays facing a number of civil servants and pension scheme members in receiving their pension quotes are unacceptable. I want to reassure you that this Government has taken firm action to help put things right as soon as possible. We have agreed a clear recovery plan with Capita, which includes specific milestones and accountability targets for delivery. For priority cases, we have deployed additional resources and improved communication with affected colleagues, so that staff, both former and serving, receive the quality of service and support they deserve.

Existing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have been enhanced and strengthened to deliver improved performance and higher penalties for failure, including financial penalties. These have already been applied in respect to Capita's performance with recent issues and delays in administering the Civil Service Pension Scheme.

Capita has made lump sum payments to 11,454 members, the majority of whom have retired but are not yet receiving their pension, and are on track to bring these members into regular pension payments by the end of May.

To provide immediate financial support to those who may need it, including those who have left under the compensation scheme, arrangements are in place for interest-free bridging loans of £5,000 and higher in exceptional cases to most recent retirees facing payment delays. This is alongside interim lump sum payments being made to provide immediate funds to retiring members. The pension scheme continues to make monthly pension payments to approximately 730,000 existing pensioner members on time.

To mitigate member hardship, employers have issued £8.9 million in Transitional Support Loans to 1,665 members and these arrangements continue to be in place.

Interest will be paid on delayed benefits to avoid financial loss by members. In addition, the existing statutory complaints process evaluates claims for financial losses, as well as distress and inconvenience caused, on a case-by-case basis to determine whether compensation is due. This ensures that any retiree who provides evidence of extra costs, such as bank penalties or interest charges caused by the delay, is fairly assessed. This process is run in accordance with the standards set by the Pensions Ombudsman.

The Cabinet Office has mandated Capita that they must restore service levels by the end of June 2026. We are using every commercial lever at our disposal, including withholding payments for deliverables that have not been met. We also reserve the right to take further formal action to ensure the service returns to the required standards. The Cabinet Office continues to closely monitor Capita's progress and performance against all contractual service levels.

Regular updates on the work to recover the service, continue to be posted on the Civil Service Pensions member portal and on Gov.Uk.

Asked by: Helen Morgan (Liberal Democrat - North Shropshire)
Thursday 21st May 2026

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, when the oldest outstanding request for a Civil Service Pension quotation was made.

Answered by Satvir Kaur - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

Due to the moving nature of the caseload every day, the Cabinet Office is unable to provide the specific date of the oldest outstanding request. Overall, there are currently over 25,000 outstanding pension quotations. Capita intends to issue the outstanding quotations by the end of June. These consist of:

  • active members who are wanting to partially retire

  • active members who are wanting to fully retire

  • partial retirees who want to fully retire

  • deferred members (who no longer work for the Civil Service) who want to bring their pension into payment

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to reduce the time taken by his Department to prevent company directors from voluntarily striking off non‑trading companies due to unresolved Bounce Back Loan cases; and what coordination exists with Companies House to ensure that businesses are able to be formally closed and do not incur additional administrative fees.

Answered by Blair McDougall - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)

The Department for Business and Trade, Companies House, and the Cabinet Office have a clear and joined up approach to raising and withdrawing objections to voluntary dissolution. To ensure businesses are able to close without incurring additional administrative fees, Companies House acts quickly to remove objections when it is advised to do so through regular updates and specific requests.

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Answer of 28 April 2025 to Question 44594, on Ministers: Aviation, which Ministers took the flights.

Answered by Luke Pollard - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

It has been the practice of successive administrations not to publish granular information relating to the official movements of Ministers and those accompanying them within the United Kingdom. Information about official overseas ministerial travel is published as part of the Cabinet Office transparency returns and made available on the GOV.UK website.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Answer of 24 March 2025 to Question 39574 on Katharine Birbalsingh, when the final note was shared.
