Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the pensions of staff transferring into Gov Facility Services Limited have been carried over from previous schemes; and if he will make a statement.
GFSL is applying for admitted status to the Civil Service Pension Scheme (CSPS). This means that those employees who are currently protected staff under New Fair Deal will remain in their Civil Service Pension Scheme.
The remaining employees will be auto-enrolled into an appropriate defined contribution pension scheme, so that the obligations in respect of auto-enrolment will be fully met.
