Atomic Weapons Research Establishment: Conditions of Employment

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, for what reasons employees of the management company running the Atomic Weapons Establishment are considered private sector employees for the purpose of pensions but public sector employees for the purpose of the exit payment cap.

The exit payment cap will apply to organisations classified as within the public sector by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) with limited exceptions.
