Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department is taking steps to ensure that retired police officers are not disadvantaged by potential errors in pension scheme administration.

Responsibility for the administration of the police pension schemes lies with individual Chief Constables, who are the scheme managers.

The Home Office has no role in this process. However, the Home Office works closely with the National Police Chiefs’ Council representing scheme managers to provide assistance where possible to minimise the risk of errors in pension administration.
