Written Answers. - Pension Provisions.
The Government has not yet completed its consideration of the report. In this context, the report is a lengthy and complex document and contains many wide-ranging and far-reaching recommendations regarding public service pensions generally. When I published the report, I noted, in particular, the commission's view that its recommendations as set out in its final report represent an integrated and cohesive long-term strategy for public service pensions, and that in implementing this strategy it would be important to preserve the integrity of the package of measures as a whole.
