Will this also be the case for the Armed Forces or will we still have the bat inserted up the one way valve?
If I were a betting man, I'd say no ... someone has to pay for the better terms for the other sectors. If you believe the Telegraph, sometimes a big ask these days, but the numbers they are pushing for teachers' and nurses' pensions show quite significant rises - apparently teachers will now be able to retire on 25K and nurses on almost 23K, rises in both instances from the old schemes, all based on higher employer contributions, a higher accrual rate and later retirement giving longer to build a pot.
Somehow I can't see the AFPRB getting an equivalent deal for the Forces.
