Retained firefighters' pensions

The government has committed to provide further remedy to people employed as retained firefighters between 7 April 2000 and 5 April 2006, by giving them the opportunity to purchase their pre-July 2000 service and have this included in their pension entitlement.

To do this, we’re consulting on amendments to:

• the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme (England) Order 2006

• the Firemen’s Pension Scheme Order 1992

We’re seeking views on:

• the amendments
• whether they achieve the policy intention for all eligible people
