Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Emma Reynolds and Olly Glover

Monday 7th October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Olly Glover (Didcot and Wantage) (LD)]

T3. Members of the AEAT pension scheme have collectively lost millions of pounds from their pensions, despite being told that they would be no less favourable following the privatisation of their pension scheme in 1996. The Public Accounts Committee found that they had received inadequate information from the Government and lost money as a result. Will the Minister provide a clear timescale for redress for AEAT pensioners in this unique case, as promised by a previous Pensions Minister?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Emma Reynolds)]

I thank the hon. Member for his question. I have looked into this issue, which has a long and complex history, and I would be very willing to meet him to discuss it in more detail.
