Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 February 2026

Debate

Pension Schemes Bill

Contribution

Amendment 215 from the noble Lord, Lord Palmer, would require an independent review into the impact and fairness of provisions in the police pension scheme that can lead to the reduction or cessation of survivor pensions where the surviving partner of a scheme member remarries or enters a new cohabiting relationship. At the outset, I want to set on record the value that this Government place on the contribution of police officers across the country who work tirelessly to keep us safe every day. Each one of us has reason to be grateful for their work.
