Sadiq Khan has said Wayne Couzens who kidnapped, raped and murdered Sarah Everard should be stripped of his police pension.
But in a letter, Mr Khan claims Couzens is still entitled to a pension from the CNC, where he served between 2011 and 2018.
The CNC safeguards nuclear facilities in the UK, and Mr Khan has written to energy secretary Grant Shapps calling for him to take the same measures as the Home Office. His letter reads: ‘I note that Couzens joined the CNC in 2011 as a constable. When he transferred to the MPS in 2018, he did not transfer his pension service.
‘It remains there, and is not covered by the pension forfeiture certificate I was able to obtain as it sits outside the normal police pension regulations.’A spokesman for the mayor added: ‘It will be totally unacceptable if Couzens remains entitled to a single penny of his pension – it would be very difficult for his victims and the wider public to comprehend.
‘The rules need to be tightened to ensure anyone who commits such abhorrent crimes can have their publicly-funded pension removed swiftly and in full.’
