To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will provide the Government Actuary's estimate of the total remuneration package, including pension and redundancy, from leaving aged 39 to age 65 for a Major on pay level 6 (a) made redundant at 15 years 364 days' pensionable service and...

The Government Actuary's Department (GAD) has based its estimate upon two scenarios—redundancy at 15 years 364 days pensionable service and redundancy at 16 years pensionable service. The GAD has estimated the discounted present capital value of pension and redundancy payments, made between age 39 and age 65 to a member of Armed Forces Pension Scheme 75 holding major's rank, pay level 6 and aged 39.
The following assumptions were used in preparing these estimates: the discount rate is 5% per annum, consumer price index inflation is 2% per annum, there
is no allowance for death before age 65 and, in the 16 year scenario, the individual opts for full resettlement commutation.
The resultant estimates are shown in the following table:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Wallace of Saltaire on 19 December 2012 (WA 307–8), whether the administrators of the principal Civil Service Pension Scheme can extrapolate and accumulate the numbers and annual costs of civil servants made redundant each year; and how the...

It is for individual departments to effectively manage their resources so as to remain within their budgets. As each department is responsible for meeting the costs of any redundancy compensation to be paid to their staff it is right, and appropriate, for them to assess the efficacy of making any of their employees redundant in the light of their business needs and financial situation. The Cabinet Office exercises oversight of the operation of the Civil Service Compensation Scheme so as to ensure that departments are operating within scheme rules. This does not extend to monitoring the numbers of staff departing under the scheme.
The role of the scheme administrator appointed by the Cabinet Office is to calculate and pay compensation in accordance with the scheme rules, and ensure that the full costs are charged to departments. It is then for individual departments to report these costs in their resource accounts each year.

The information requested is not held centrally. I would advise the hon. Member to write to Andrea Young, Chief Operating Officer at NHS South of England for this information.
I send my sympathy to the Comet staff who have lost their jobs today, just five days before Christmas. When the Secretary of State carries out his review of what happened at Comet, will he look at how staff have lost bonuses and how staff who have served loyally for many years will not get their full redundancy packages, in spite of the fact that the Government are stepping in with £50 million?

The inquiry that the Department is now carrying out will be into the conduct of the directors, and various consequences will flow from that. We cannot investigate the wider social consequences, but the hon. Gentleman is quite right that severe loss has been suffered, not just by the workers but by the Government, who are having to make up the redundancy pool.

| Notes: 1. Exit packages includes compulsory redundancies and other departures. The latter includes the cost of early retirements (except those due to ill health), voluntary redundancies, Mutually Agreed Resignation Scheme, pay in lieu of notice etc. However, it is not possible to separately identify the value of compulsory and voluntary redundancies from these costs from the data collected. Therefore, an overall figure for redundancies is not separately identifiable. 2. The expense associated with these departures may have been recognised in part or in full in a previous period.

The data is taken from the audited summarisation schedules of PCTs, from which NHS elements of the Department's annual report and accounts are prepared. The disclosure in the accounts reports the number and value of exit packages taken by staff leaving in the year. The expense associated with these departures may have been recognised in part or in full in a previous period.
Information on Great Yarmouth and Waveney PCT has been provided as it covers the geographical area of both Norfolk and Suffolk. As the lowest level of detail at which financial data is collected by the Department for statutory accounting is by PCT, we are unable to disaggregate this data any further.
Information on Peterborough PCT has been provided as it covers part of the geographical area of Cambridgeshire. As the lowest level of detail at which financial data is collected by the Department for statutory accounting is by PCT, we are unable to disaggregate this data any further.

Payment of annual pension amounts and lump sum are made under the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme by our administrator, My Civil Service Pension. We do not hold records centrally and to obtain these would involve disproportionate cost.
The department does not hold this information. Accordingly, I have asked the chief executive of the Royal Parks Agency to write directly to the noble Lord with this information.
Copies of the responses will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.

The cost is made up of lump sum compensation payments paid to exiting staff, and the cost to DWP of buying out any actuarial reduction in pension, should an employee choose this option.
The costs of annual pension amounts and lump sum pension payments are not borne by the department, but are drawn from the Principal Civil Service Pension scheme. As such the department does not have this information available

The Audit Commission's audited accounts for 2010-11 and 2011-12 include payments and provisions for redundancy costs of £45.8 million. It is expected that another £3.9 million of redundancy costs will be incurred before the anticipated closure of the commission in 2015 (subject to legislation), bringing the total to £49.7 million. Net of transition costs, the disbanding of the Audit Commission is estimated to save the taxpayer around £650 million over the next five years.
