§ Mr. Frank FieldTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) what reports his Department publishes on public sector pension schemes; [43347]
(2) what reports were published by Government Departments from their agencies dealing primarily with public sector pension schemes in the last five years. [43346]
§ Mr. Andrew SmithResponsibility for administering individual public sector pension schemes and accounting for them rests with the bodies responsible for the schemes, not the Treasury, which does not keep lists of all related publications. Reports on individual schemes, on matters such as actuarial valuations and scheme accounts, are 1231W published by the body responsible for the scheme or, in the case of NHS and teachers pension scheme valuations, the Government Actuary's department. In July 2000 the Treasury published the report of the Government review of ill-health retirement in the public sector, which was a Treasury-chaired review.
