Doncaster Sheffield Airport

Doncaster Sheffield Airport

"I am interested in what the hon. Gentleman is asking for. He must accept that the airport in Teesside is costing an awful lot of public money. Presumably he is happy for the Mayor of South Yorkshire, if Peel agreed, to put in just as much money, perhaps £20 million …..."

Doncaster Sheffield Airport

"Does my hon. Friend share my disappointment that parts of South Yorkshire sometimes think that the way forward is to have a row with other parts of South Yorkshire rather than working collectively, as the Manchester authorities appear able to? This is not about Doncaster’s airport versus Sheffield’s trams. Sheffield …..."

Health and Social Care Update

"Yesterday, the County Councils Network produced a statement saying that there is a crisis in social care, which echoed the findings of the Select Committee on Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

Written Question

Civil Servants: Workplace Pensions

Monday 23rd May 2022

Asked by: Clive Betts (Labour - Sheffield South East)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many retired civil servants are members of the civil service classic scheme.

Answered by Heather Wheeler

A total of 660,782 individuals are in receipt of a pension under classic terms.

Of those, 552,327 are retired classic members, the rest are those in receipt of a dependent’s pension.

This is split as follows:

Male/Female	Dependent/Pensioner	Number
Male	Dependent	15,905
Male	Pensioner	273,565
Female	Dependent	92,550
Female	Pensioner	278,762

MyCSP, the pension administrator, is unable to provide a split between active and deferred members due to how their data is held.

This is due to the fact that a large number of cases still in payment relate to members retiring or crystallising their benefits before the advent of bespoke administration and payroll systems that would hold this information. All historic, legacy cases were processed manually and unfortunately this level of detail is not available for this population.
