    Civil servants currently receive 1 x 80th for each year of their service. So the maximum any civil servant can receive at present is 40 x 80th ie half pay after a lifetime of service (40 years).

    An independent review of pensions by Lord Hutton put the average pension at between £5,600 and £7,800 a year. Hardly the amounts being floated around by the government and the media.

    Compare that to what the MP's receive when they hang up their pens after a much shorter time in public service not including their resettlement sum before going on to make millions as a 'named' director or guest speaker. Most MP's do about 10 years so if they applied the civil service formula to their system they would qualify for only 10 x 80ths.
