Cabinet Office: Civil Superannuation

Introduction

  1.  This Estimate covers the payment of pensions and other benefits to persons covered by the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme (PCSPS) and certain other statutory schemes, including schemes for civil servants made under the Superannuation Act 1972.

  2.  Provision is also made for the payment of annual compensation arising from early retirement that was pre-funded by departments, agencies and other bodies covered by the Civil Service Compensation Scheme, in previous years, and received as extra receipts to the Consolidated Fund. The scheme for the central funding of early departures, announced in the White Paper: Continuity and Change (CM 2627), ended on 31 March 1997. Provision for residual expenditure under that scheme is included.

  3.  PCSPS employers meet the cost of pension cover for their staff by payment of charges set on an accruals basis. These charges, along with scheme members' contributions, are appropriated in aid of this Estimate.

  4.  Symbols are explained in the Introduction to this booklet.
