Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the total value of investment is by the (a) Parliamentary Contributory Pensions Fund and (b) Civil Service Pension Scheme in funds linked to freehold ground rents.

Investment decisions within the Parliamentary Contributory Pension Fund (PCPF) are a matter for the Trustees who receive professional advice regarding decisions on the management of scheme assets. Information on the PCPF’s investments is not therefore held centrally. However, details of the scheme’s investments are set out each year in a published Annual Review.

The Civil Service Pension Scheme is unfunded and as such does not make investments.
