Posted on Jul 15, 2010

According to Money Mail, only 750,000 private sector workers are in a final salary scheme open to new members.

Whilst official figures by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) puts the number at 1.1 million, this includes 250,000 workers with university pensions, and 85,000 in the Railways Pension Scheme, both of which are funded in part by the taxpayer.
