It's part of the proposed public sector pension reform.

However it's a completely different scheme.

It will be interesting to see doctors etc revolt.

Mates have told me that the Labour party did try and reform their scheme, and change it to a "career average" but the the proposals were turned down.

I know that for female doctors with children who work part-time a "career average" may be better for them.

Piece of good news at last. Far better to pay Civil Servants to do nothing, than to waste theirs and everyone elses time, maintaining their vast economically redundant bureacracy. The other positive thing is the more money is paid to Civil servants sitting around doing nothing, the less they'll have to spend on new ones, who will have nothing better to do than send brown envelopes, do annoying audits, and generally causing trouble, slicing off the wrong limbs, refusing planning permission etc etc.
