§ Mr. HealdTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will list the(a) funded and (b) unfunded public sector pension schemes for which his Department, its agencies and its non-departmental public bodies are responsible; when the last actuarial valuation was of each scheme; what the value was of the assets at the last actuarial valuation of each scheme; what deficit is disclosed by the last actuarial valuation of each scheme; and if he will make a statement. [104920]
§ Mr. MilibandThe only public service pension scheme for which this Department has responsibility is the unfunded Teachers' Pension Scheme. The Government Actuary has recently produced his report on the 381W valuation of the scheme as at 31 March 2001. As part of changes made to the long term funding arrangements of the scheme, the values of both the assets and liabilities were determined at that date to be £142,880 million. As a result, the scheme has no deficit. A copy of the Government Actuary's report is available from the Library.
