Deliverance, you are spot on the AFPRB conducts a quinquenial review of the various pension schemes and recommends an abatement of pay to take into account the value of our pension with that of other pension schemes. There are different abatements for Officers and other Ranks as pensionable service starts as different ages. If you follow this link you will find the last report which set the level at 4%. It is, therefore, arguable that we already make contribution.
