British Transport Police Authority

Not applicable to BTPA. BTPA pension scheme(s) are fully funded

Civil Aviation Authority

Civil Aviation Authority employees are enrolled in our pensions schemes not covered by the public sector pension fund. We have 10 colleagues who were brought into the CAA on TUPE arrangements and who remain active members of the Civil Service Pension Scheme. Employee and Employers contributions are paid monthly based on prevailing rates set by the scheme.

Crossrail International

There is no public sector pension liability.

DfT Operator Limited (DFTO)

This question is not relevant to DfTO as they are in a money management scheme.

East West Rail

We are not part of the Civil Service Pension Scheme.

HS2

HS2 Ltd does not have any unfunded public sector pension liability. HS2 Ltd employees do not participate in any public sector pension. Rather they are offered the opportunity to become members of a defined contribution pension plan, administered by Legal and General.

National Highways

National Highways is unable to estimate liabilities relating to Civil Service Pension Scheme membership. The Civil Service Pension Scheme is an unfunded public service pension scheme, with benefits ultimately funded from future government revenues rather than from a dedicated fund of assets. Actuarial valuations of accrued liabilities are undertaken centrally by the Government Actuary's Department (GAD), which also determines the employer contribution rates payable under the scheme. Consequently, National Highways does not calculate, hold, or recognise any pension liability relating to Civil Service Pension Scheme membership on its balance sheet. National Highways' responsibility is limited to paying employer contributions at the rates prescribed by the scheme, which are publicly available. As the actuarial assessment of liabilities is performed centrally and does not sit with participating employers, National Highways is not able to provide a liability estimate.

Network Rail

The pension schemes Network Rail currently operates (Network Rail Section of the RPS, NR CARE and NRDC) are not 'unfunded public sector' pension schemes – they are classified as funded private sector occupational pension schemes (benefits are backed by invested assets rather than being paid directly from current taxation).

Northern Lighthouse Board

Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) participates in the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme (PCSPS). The PCSPS is an unfunded multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme and NLB is unable to identify its share of the underlying scheme assets and liabilities. Accordingly, no organisation-specific estimate of the unfunded pension liability is available.

Office of Rail and Road

As per our recently published Annual Report and Accounts, there is insufficient information available to be able to identify ORR’s share of the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme liabilities and costs (page 113). Our understanding is that this is common across Government Departments and Arm’s Length Bodies.

Transport Focus

Transport Focus participates in the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme (PCSPS). The PCSPS is an unfunded multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme and Transport Focus is unable to identify its share of the underlying scheme assets and liabilities. Accordingly, no organisation-specific estimate of the unfunded pension liability is available.

Trinity House

Trinity House participates in the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme (PCSPS). The PCSPS is an unfunded multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme and Trinity House is unable to identify its share of the underlying scheme assets and liabilities. Accordingly, no organisation-specific estimate of the unfunded pension liability is available.
