Written Question
MyCSP: Trade Unions
Wednesday 9th July 2025

Asked by: Lord Spellar (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government which trade unions are recognised by the MyCSP.

Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

MyCSP operates as a private company, delivering the administration of Civil Service pensions through commercial contract arrangements starting 2013 and ending December 2025.

Any decisions concerning the recognition of trade unions are made independently by them as the employer. They are contractually obliged to comply with UK legislation, which includes worker and employment rights, including those rights associated with trade union recognition.

As far as we are aware, MyCSP does not currently recognise any trade unions either by voluntary or statutory arrangement. They do have staff representation on their Board.
