To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment has been made of the potential impact of the implementation of the McCloud remedy on waiting times for the production of Cash Equivalent Transfer Value (CETV) quotations under police pension schemes.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment has been made of the potential impact of the implementation of the McCloud remedy on waiting times for the production of Cash Equivalent Transfer Value (CETV) quotations under police pension schemes.
No such assessment has been made. CETV quotations are produced for scheme members by the relevant scheme administrator. While the Home Office has responsibility for overarching policy and legislative changes to the police pension regulations, the police pension schemes are locally administered by individual police forces.
It is for each Chief Constable, in their role as scheme manager for their force, to determine their administrative timetable. This includes the production of CETV quotations.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the implementation of the McCloud remedy on waiting times for the production of Cash Equivalent Transfer Value (CETV) quotations under the Teachers' Pension scheme.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the implementation of the McCloud remedy on waiting times for the production of Cash Equivalent Transfer Value (CETV) quotations under the Teachers' Pension scheme.
As of 25 August 2026, there are 476 Cash Equivalent Transfer Value (CETV) cases outstanding.
This takes into account those cases affected by the government embargo in May 2026, when there was a temporary suspension of CETV calculations across UK public service pension schemes, triggered by a change to the Superannuation Contributions Adjusted for Past Experience (SCAPE) rate made by HM Treasury. The figure also includes recent CETV applications and as such there will always be a number of outstanding CETV cases at any given time.
The implementation of the McCloud remedy has been complex as the Teachers’ Pension Scheme, as well as other public sector pension schemes, need to take into account each individual member’s unique circumstances, ensuring fairness and compliance with tax and policy rules. This has led to increased average handling times and consequently processing delays.
Most CETV cases can be worked via automation and therefore have an average handling time of one hour. Some cases impacted by the implementation of the McCloud remedy cannot be processed via automation and therefore must be calculated manually. The average handing time for these is 6 hours. For the most complex CETV cases, such as where the member has certain flexibilities in the Scheme, or has already retired, the average handling time for processing CETVs is 30 hours.
The department recognises the importance of providing CETV quotations in a timely manner. While the implementation of the remedy has had an impact on processing times, Teachers’ Pensions continues to work to manage demand and reduce delays while ensuring that members’ benefits are calculated accurately and in accordance with the requirements of the McCloud remedy.
The department consistently monitors the scheme administrator’s performance and maintains strong oversight through contract management processes and an independent Pension Board, which includes employer and member representatives, to ensure service standards are upheld.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 17 October 2025 to Question 77413 on Teachers: Workplace Pensions, how many unresolved cash equivalent transfer value (CETV) cases are outstanding as of 20-08-2026; and what is the current average time taken to process requests.

The Prime Minister has promised to do all he can to end rough sleeping by offering everyone who needs it in England a route off the streets by Christmas. In Newport we have excellent charities such as Eden Gate, which I visited recently, working with the council’s outreach services, but they need more support. Does the Minister agree that the Plaid Cymru Welsh Government should follow Labour’s lead by making tackling homelessness a priority?

Does the Minister agree that the Plaid Cymru Welsh Government should follow Labour’s lead by making tackling homelessness a priority?
I completely agree with my hon. Friend. The Prime Minister’s announcement to give everyone a route off the streets by Christmas comes with a £442 million boost in funding and a landmark summit to bring everyone together to end rough sleeping. That will not only change the lives of those being given somewhere to sleep and a foundation to rebuild their lives but have huge benefits right across the country. I hope that the Plaid Government will follow suit and ensure that everyone in Wales has a roof over their head this Christmas.
I thank the Prime Minister for visiting Port Talbot steelworks last week, and for highlighting the importance of securing and protecting our sovereign steel industry, which I know he will do in his role. Steel communities have long faced unfair global trading practices, but our new safeguards will still leave...

Grassroots venues in Newport such as The Cab and Le Pub, where the fan-led review was launched recently, are a vital part of our city’s creative industry, drawing thousands of people into our city centre each month. The ticket levy announced by the Government could help such venues to manage rising costs and develop talent. Larger events were encouraged to participate voluntarily in the scheme, so could we have a bit of a progress report and an idea of next steps?

My right hon. Friend the Minister for Creative Industries, Media and Arts would be delighted to meet my hon. Friend to update her on the progress we have made on protecting these vital venues. If I may, I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate her on the long overdue recognition for the work she has put into this Chamber and for what she has done in public life.
Mr Speaker, may I also take this opportunity to have a rare truce between Wigan and Chorley and thank you for the work you have done over a long period of time to campaign for Sir Kevin Sinfield to be given a knighthood? It is an absolute privilege to be the Secretary of State who has been able to ensure that both Sir Billy Boston and Sir Kevin Sinfield have been rightly recognised as the first two people from rugby league ever to receive knighthoods, which were long overdue.

I too thank my hon. Friend the Member for Eltham and Chislehurst (Clive Efford) for his excellent and assiduous work on the APPG. The right hon. Member for East Hampshire (Damian Hinds) is right that it is a very different APPG, and my hon. Friend does a fantastic job with...

As the Minister knows, I represent Llanwern, which produces galvanised steel. I repeat my ask to the Minister to be mindful of the impact of the scale of the allocations for non-EU countries on Llanwern. Will he continue to liaise directly with Tata and the unions on this issue?

On top of its efforts to interfere in Armenian democracy, Russia is now using economic pressure through arbitrary trade restrictions in an effort to undermine Armenia’s strengthening ties with the UK and Europe. What more can we do on a practical level, through our strategic partnership and alongside EU allies, to support Armenia as it continues to pursue European integration?

I congratulate my hon. Friend on her damehood, which is well deserved, and on her consistent advocacy in relation to Armenia. I can assure her that we are monitoring the concerning situation regarding Russian economic pressure on Armenia. We are developing our strategic partnership further. In fact, I was discussing Armenia with both US and EU counterparts in recent days, and we will work closely with international partners to ensure Armenia is robust and able to pursue its own future.
Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. Two thirds of businesses in Newport city centre are independent businesses, and it has been brilliant to see businesses such as Kingsway Market, Rock and Scallop and Banc open in recent weeks. However, this is undermined by shops selling illegal cigarettes, illegal vapes and counterfeit goods. What more can Ministers do, working with Home Office colleagues, to help trading standards—which does an excellent job in Newport; it shut two shops last week—tackle the issue of shops opening up again after being shut?

I congratulate my hon. Friend on her very well-deserved recognition. She raises an extremely important issue, which I am sure is of concern to Members right across the House. That is why it will be welcomed on all sides of the House that the Home Office has announced a high street organised crime unit to tackle organised crime where it is operating through high street shops and bringing down the high streets that residents want to see returned to vibrancy, as places that symbolise the life and heart of the communities they are part of.

The Green Deal scheme has its own retrospective redress system whereby complaints can be referred to the Secretary of State in accordance with the Green Deal Framework Regulations and Code of Practice. Lack of registration of the homeowner as the FIT generator, due to misregistration or reassignment of associated rights to a third party, may contribute to finding breaches of said regulations if resulting from the consumer being misled. As part of a wider mis-selling investigation the Secretary of State may issue decisions cancelling or reducing a Green Deal loan, but separate FIT dispute resolution options are also outlined on Ofgem’s website.
Further to the last question, my constituent Emma Webb’s 16-year-old daughter Brodie tragically took her own life in 2020. Since then, Emma has worked tirelessly to raise thousands of pounds for charity, raising awareness of suicide prevention and launching DoItForBrodie, a project that aims to break down barriers. Can I invite the Minister to pay tribute to the work that Emma is doing, and to say more about suicide prevention among young people and children?

I thank my hon. Friend for raising that important question, and I pay tribute to Emma. In the renewed women’s health strategy, we have committed to improving mental health support for women and girls. We must help women and girls to access mental health support in ways that work for them. We are promoting collaboration to improve women’s knowledge and healthcare professionals’ understanding of many women’s relationships and the barriers they face. There is much more to do, and I would be keen to work with my hon. Friend and to hear from Emma about what more we can do in this space.
