I wish to provide an update regarding the Civil Service Pension Scheme administered by Capita.

Capita has been working to restore, to contractual levels, administration of the Civil Service Pension Scheme following its failed transition in December last year, which left far too many scheme members facing severe delays in accessing their pensions, after many years of dedicated public service. Capita committed to restoring the service by the end of June.

The Government is now undertaking a comprehensive assessment of the latest data provided by Capita post the end of June commitment. We will complete a full evaluation of the actions, outcomes and figures provided by Capita.

Members and their constituents will rightly question the next steps the Government is taking and I intend to provide a comprehensive update to Parliament in the coming days.

We will continue to hold Capita to account, including using all commercial levers and we have been consistently clear that the Government will not hesitate to take firm action for continued underperformance.
