I propose to take Questions Nos. 205 and 215 together.

I as the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform have responsibility for civil service pensions and for pensions paid from the Central Fund. Statutory responsibility for other public service pension schemes is a matter in the first instance for the respective Ministers in other Departments, as appropriate. The data in the following table relate to former Civil Servants.
