Law and Regulation

Pension legislation and regulation need a radical overhaul in order to reduce complexity and communicate a coherent message, according to a report.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has been heavily criticised in a damning indictment of the state of UK pension regulation.

The government's proposals to clamp down on pension scams will not go far enough to stop fraudsters, according to the Pensions Management Institute's (PMI) president.

Pension professionals have commended the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for launching a campaign to help people work for longer.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has warned companies their credit rating could be affected if they ignore their auto-enrolment (AE) obligations.

The government has to consider how auto-enrolment (AE) can be extended to the self-employed in its forthcoming review says pensions minister Richard Harrington.

Guidance on transfers to 'suspicious' schemes

The National Audit Office has published its report into government failures to provide appropriately valued lump sums for some 34,000 police and firefighters - leaving some members waiting 15 years for their full entitlement.

Work and pensions minister Damian Green has confirmed the government will consult on hidden costs and charges later this year.

This week we want to know if increased auto-enrolment flexibility is needed and whether there is a minimum number of people required for a trustee board to operate effectively.
