Employer contributions to the Local Government Pension Scheme

I would like to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I would like information for the past five financial years: 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26.

Please present the information in a spreadsheet, with column headings for each financial year. Please can you tell me:

1) How much the council spent on employer contributions to the Local Government Pension Scheme.

2) How much the council received in council tax.

Our Financial Statements are published on the Council's website each year and the link provided covers the years requested https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/directory-record/61714/statement-of-accounts

1) Note 29 DEFINED BENEFIT PENSIONS SCHEMES (table a)

2) Note 8 TAXATION AND NON-SPECIFIC GRANT INCOME (table a)

As such, this information is exempt from disclosure in accordance with the exemption set out at Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which provides that a public authority need not comply with a request for disclosure under the Act where that information is reasonably accessible by other means.
