Background
Successive government legislation has led to the disappearance of defined benefits scheme in private industry, government response to this has been to showcase how good defined contributions can be. Yet the government pension scheme remains as a defined benefit scheme. This should scrapped making the costs per employee, inc MP’s more transparent and showing that MP’s really do believe that defined contribution schemes are as good as defined benefit.
