Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 22 May 2026 to Question 1246 on Department for Education: Workplace Pensions, if she will give civil servants the right to rescind applications to retire in circumstances where they have done so to receive an accurate retirement quote.

Civil servants in the department may request to withdraw a retirement application, and such requests are always considered on a case-by-case basis. The retirement process is intended for those who are actively planning to retire, rather than for the purpose of obtaining illustrative benefit estimates.
