Civil Service Pension Fund (Hansard, 27 June 1995)

HC Deb 27 June 1995 vol 262 c551W 551W

§ Mr. McNamara
To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if the proposed privatisation of the administration of the civil service pension fund will require secondary legislation. [31265]

§ Mr. Horam
The Government propose, following an efficiency scrutiny of administration of the PCSPS, to permit Departments to market test administration of the scheme. Parliamentary approval for this intended course of action will be sought. I expect shortly to make a statement on the matter. Occupational pension arrangements for civil servants will continue to be provided through the PCSPS.
