Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what representations he has received from police bodies on the potential effect of changes to employee pension contributions on police numbers.

The Treasury has received representations from a number of employer organisations, including police bodies, subsequent to my Written Ministerial Statement of 6 September announcing the draft amending directions for the 4-yearly valuations of Public Service Pension Schemes. The finalised directions will be published later this year.

Representations have included comments on the effects of potential changes to pension contributions.
