On the 690 people who retired in 2012, how does that compare with the average annual number of retirements? Has there been a spike in retirements due to the reorganisation? The 60 retiring this year appears to be a small number when we consider the number in 2012. I am new to this process but I do not understand why civil servants working in the Defence Forces have pensions charged to the Department of Defence Vote rather than the Army pension Vote.
