Asked by: Luke Myer (Labour - Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland)
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the average lump sum is paid to civil service pensioners.
Answered by Sally Jameson - Parliamentary Secretary and Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Cabinet Office) (Jointly with the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government)
The average lump sum paid to Civil Service pensioners is £39,732.04, and the average net monthly pension payment is £742.23. Information regarding the average length of time from the date of retirement to the first payment is not currently available through management information reporting; producing this figure would require significant development work to create and validate the necessary reporting capability.
Current service levels are unacceptable, and the Government is taking robust action to hold Capita to account. This includes withholding £9.9 million in contract payments for undelivered milestones, alongside confirmation that the Government surge team costs will be recovered directly from Capita.
