Mike Wood MP, Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office, responds to a Government Statement on pensions, raising serious concerns about the administration of the Civil Service Pension Scheme (CSPS).
While welcoming the decision to terminate the Royal Mail statutory pension scheme, Mike Wood highlights the significant failures by Capita in managing civil service pensions—failures that have left many retired public servants without the income they rely on. He shares the real-life impact on constituents and questions the Government’s handling of the contract, despite repeated warnings from the National Audit Office and Public Accounts Committee.
Pressing Ministers for answers, he calls for accountability, enforcement of penalty clauses, and urgent action to restore stability to the system. He also raises concerns about contingency planning and whether the Government is prepared to act if Capita continues to fall short.
Watch the full response as Mike Wood holds the Government to account on protecting pensions and delivering for those who have served the country.
