Civil nuclear police lose pension battle
Representatives of a police force which protects British nuclear sites have lost a High Court challenge over a new pension scheme.
Most UK police can retire at 60, but new rules mean Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) officers will have to work to 65 in future.
The Civil Nuclear Police Federation (CNPF) said it has been left "dismayed" and wants ministers to "intervene".
There are some 1,250 CNC officers guarding nuclear sites around Britain.
The CNPF has said officers could not fully protect the public from terrorism if they worked beyond 60.
