Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when full details of the new police pension scheme CARE 2015 were communicated to serving police officers.

The 2015 Police Pension Regulations were laid before Parliament on Thursday 5
March to allow the new pension scheme for police officers to come into force on
1 April. The Home Office is publishing guidance for members of the scheme
alongside this which is available at:
https://www.gov.uk/police-pension-reform

Information about the principles of the reforms has been in the public domain
for some time. This includes: the Reform Design Framework which was published
on the Home Office Website in September 2012; an online calculator which allows
officers to determine what benefits they might receive under the new
arrangements; and guidance that specifies which officers qualify for
transitional protection.
