Yeah, they can ask whatever they like, I guess. I wasn't asked specifically about salary sacrifice, but they did do an affordability check and that might have included pension contribution. I also checked with my employer that I wasn't "locked in" to anything and they could change my contribution at any time.

It might be different if the sacrifice is for something that's basically essential for you like a company car. I could see that getting more scrutiny.
