Recommendation 23

We support the recommendation of the Public Accounts Committee that the Government should “ensure that members’ complaints about the AEAT pension case can be independently reviewed, for example by a relevant ombudsman.” We agree with the Pensions Minister that it is important for a sense of justice and fairness that people should have an adequate means of redress. The Government should report back to us by the summer recess on how it intends to ensure an adequate means of redress for AEAT pension scheme members.
