This structure means standard annual and lifetime tax allowances do not apply to these benefits in the same manner as they do for most other public and private sector employees.  We believe all publicly funded pension schemes should be subject to independent oversight to ensure transparency, public value, and equity across the civil service and broader public sector workforce.","committee_note":null,"state":"open","signature_count":29,"closing_date":"2027-04-21","created_at":"2026-09-30T21:55:31.362Z","updated_at":"2026-10-22T18:54:10.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-10-21T09:08:46.985Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-10-01T07:38:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Patricia Alderson","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MoJ","name":"Ministry of Justice","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-justice"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":29}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Birkenhead","ons_code":"E14001091","mp":"Alison McGovern MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Birmingham Yardley","ons_code":"E14001100","mp":"Jess Phillips MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brentwood and Ongar","ons_code":"E14001125","mp":"Alex Burghart MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket","ons_code":"E14001146","mp":"Dr Peter Prinsley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chelmsford","ons_code":"E14001159","mp":"Marie Goldman MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derbyshire Dales","ons_code":"E14001195","mp":"John Whitby MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ellesmere Port and Bromborough","ons_code":"E14001222","mp":"Justin Madders MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Leeds East","ons_code":"E14001320","mp":"Richard Burgon MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Luton North","ons_code":"E14001345","mp":"Sarah Owen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Luton South and South Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001346","mp":"Rachel Hopkins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Poole","ons_code":"E14001429","mp":"Neil Duncan-Jordan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Rawmarsh and Conisbrough","ons_code":"E14001436","mp":"Rt Hon John Healey MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Salisbury","ons_code":"E14001460","mp":"Rt Hon John Glen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"South Basildon and East Thurrock","ons_code":"E14001480","mp":"James McMurdock MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West Norfolk","ons_code":"E14001497","mp":"Terry Jermy MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Thurrock","ons_code":"E14001546","mp":"Jen Craft MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Wallasey","ons_code":"E14001561","mp":"Rt Hon Dame Angela Eagle MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Watford","ons_code":"E14001568","mp":"Matt Turmaine MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Witham","ons_code":"E14001590","mp":"Rt Hon Priti Patel MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Wolverhampton North East","ons_code":"E14001594","mp":"Sureena Brackenridge MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bathgate and Linlithgow","ons_code":"S14000068","mp":"Kirsteen Sullivan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Dundee Central","ons_code":"S14000075","mp":"Chris Law MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Edinburgh West","ons_code":"S14000082","mp":"Christine Jardine MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey","ons_code":"S14000098","mp":"Graham Leadbitter MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Central Ayrshire","ons_code":"S14000109","mp":"Alan Gemmell MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Mid and South Pembrokeshire","ons_code":"W07000100","mp":"Henry Tufnell MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":5},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":2},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":1},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":2},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":10},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":3},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":1},{"name":"Scotland","ons_code":"M","signature_count":5}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
