For the UK scheme, the mortality assumptions used in the actuarial valuations have been selected with regard to the characteristics <strong>and</strong> experience of the membership<br />

of the scheme from 2004 to 2007. The base mortality assumptions have been derived by adjusting st<strong>and</strong>ard mortality tables (PA 92 tables) projected forward to 2007<br />

with the medium cohort improvement factors for males <strong>and</strong> with the st<strong>and</strong>ard improvement factors for females. In addition, allowance has been made for future<br />

increases in life expectancy. For males, the allowance is in line with medium cohort improvements subject to a minimum rate of improvement of 1% pa, <strong>and</strong> for females,<br />

the allowance is in line with the st<strong>and</strong>ard improvements, subject to a minimum of 0.5% pa. These improvements have been set with regard to trends observed within<br />

the scheme over the past decade.<br />

The assumptions for life expectancy of UK scheme members are as follows:<br />

Years 2009/10 2008/09<br />

Age to which current pensioners are expected to live (60 now)<br />

– Male 87.2 87.2<br />

– Female 85.9 85.9<br />

Age to which future pensioners are expected to live (60 in 15 years’ time)<br />

– Male 88.8 88.8<br />

– Female 87.1 87.1<br />

The following sensitivity analysis for the UK scheme shows the estimated impact on obligations resulting from changes to key actuarial assumptions, whilst holding<br />

all other assumptions constant.<br />
