Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to (a) comply with the McCloud remedy and (b) provide assurances to members of the Police Pensions Scheme.

While the Home Office has responsibility for overarching policy and legislative changes to the police pension regulations, the police pension scheme is locally administered by individual police forces. The regulations governing the McCloud remedy for the police pension schemes were made in July 2023.

It is for each Chief Constable, in their role as scheme manager for their force, to determine their administrative timetable, including when remedy payments will be distributed.

The Home Office is actively collaborating with policing to support the effective implementation of the McCloud remedy for all affected individuals.
