Firefighters’ Pension Scheme (England)

Debate between Penny Mordaunt and Lindsay Hoyle

Monday 15th December 2014 Commons Chamber

[Penny Mordaunt]

I am very happy to give those assurances—[Interruption.] We have done that.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

Order. I want to hear the answer, and I am sure the rest of us will gain from what the Minister has to say.

[Penny Mordaunt]

If someone fails a fitness test through no fault of their own and they do not qualify for ill health retirement, they will get a redeployed role or an unreduced pension. That will be put on a statutory footing in the national framework—a full, unreduced pension, if not an alternative role.
