[Tech1] BBC Pension Scheme

[Geoffrey Hawkes]

When we on the Old Benefits scheme were awarded the sizeable increase on our pensions this year, while it was nice, it did make me wonder if there would be a claw back of some sort, perhaps a change in the rules about how the increases are calculated - or worse, a collapse of the fund itself. Perhaps Albert can offer a few words to alleviate such fears?
Meanwhile I think it good if anyone eligible join the BBCPA. The annual subs are modest and easily offset by taking up any of the perks, subscription to RT being a case in point, to which I as a relatively new member can testify,
Regards,
Geoff
