(1) Restructuring provisions principally relate to redundancy costs expected to be incurred at the balance sheet date as a result of communicated and committed restructuring plans. The majority of these provisions will unwind within one year. No reimbursement is expected for these provisions.

(2) Insurance/claims provisions reflect management's view of the likely outcome of insurance and other legal claims made against the group in connection with operational activities. These provisions are held until utilised, by the settlement of a claim, or until such time as the claim is considered unlikely. Due to the very nature of these provisions it is uncertain when they may unwind as individual cases progress at unpredictable rates. Based on historic trends and given the nature of the items being provided against it is management's judgment that they will largely settle within 2 to 5 years of the year end. No reimbursement is expected for these provisions.

(3) Dilapidation provisions relate to the expected costs of meeting dilapidation/reinstatement requirements for properties leased by the group when they are exited and these are provided for over the term of the lease. The lease expiry dates range between one and 10 years. No reimbursement is expected for these provisions.

(4) Onerous contract provisions relate principally to property lease contracts where the ongoing level of unavoidable costs is not expected to be fully recovered by the economic benefits expected to be derived from using those properties. The expectation is that this expenditure will be incurred over the remaining periods of the leases which range up to 2 years. No reimbursement is expected for these provisions.

16 Retirement benefit obligations

The Group operates several occupational pension schemes for its employees. These schemes are a combination of defined benefit, defined contribution and third-party defined benefit schemes.

a Schemes accounted for on a defined contribution basis

Cash contributions to the Group's defined contribution schemes are recognised as pension costs in the Consolidated Income Statement and no asset or liability is shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Some employees who transferred to the Group under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (1981) as amended (TUPE) remain members of their previous schemes, which are pre-funded defined benefit schemes. Where under the terms of the contracts, the defined benefit liability effectively remains with the transferor, the Group accounts for these schemes as defined contribution schemes. Cash contributions are recognised as pension costs in the Consolidated Income Statement and no asset or liability is shown on the balance sheet.

During the year, as part of its pension review, the Group looked at the number of defined contribution pension arrangements it had in place to see how these could be streamlined. The majority of defined contribution members were on an age related structure where the Company paid contributions at twice the member rate. From 1 January 2011, a new defined contribution arrangement was launched which provided matching contributions on a grade related basis. This resulted in a reduction in both the number of defined contribution schemes and the amount of employer contributions.
