This is nothing new. We've always been "opted out" of the second state pension(SERPS/Additional State Pension). There's no date on this document, but it mentions a State Pension of £107, so it's some time ago.

Also mentioned here on page 2:
AFPS contracted out from State Earnings Related Pension Scheme (SERPS)
