I understand that my Department does not currently employ any civil servants, who are also in receipt of a civil service pension. Occasionally, my Department engages a retired civil servant with particular expertise, to carry out a specific task on behalf of the Department. Such individuals are paid a fee for carrying out such work and pension abatement rules apply to the payment of such fees.
