Defined Benefit Plan Disclosure [Line Items]            
Defined contribution plan, description     The scheme’s investment policy is to maximize long-term financial return commensurate with security and minimizing risk, with an objective of achieving a return of around 3% per annum above the return on UK Government bonds. This is achieved by holding a portfolio of marketable investments that avoids over-concentration of investment and spreads assets both over industries and geographies. In setting investment strategy, the trustees considered the lowest risk strategy that they could adopt in relation to the scheme’s liabilities and designed an asset allocation to achieve a higher return while maintaining a cautious approach to meeting the scheme’s liabilities. The trustees undertake periodic reviews of the investment strategy and take advice from their investment advisors. They consider a full range of asset classes, the risks and rewards of a range of alternative asset allocation strategies, the suitability of each asset class and the need for appropriate diversification. The current strategy is to hold 12% in a diversified growth fund, 24% in diversified credit, 18% in a equity-linked liability-driven investment funds, 6% in credit-linked liability-driven investment funds and 40% in a buy-in policy.
