Mr. Denham: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many requests for information the principal civil service pensionscheme has received from pension providers undertaking reviews of pension transfers and opt-outs; in how many cases all appropriateinformation has been supplied; what is the average length of time taken to supply such information; and what moratorium has beenintroduced on supplying such information. [3340]Mr. Freeman: The administration of the principal civil service pension scheme is carried out by employing Departments and theinformation requested is not held centrally. Administrators have been provided with information packs on the PCSPS, and use these,together with a standard questionnaire on members' benefits, to help them handle requests from pension providers consistently andefficiently. The recent introduction of powers to recharge administrative costs should assist further with the processing of suchrequests although we believe that relatively few civil servants are affected by the personal pensions review.
