Law and Regulation

Labour is set to announce plans that would see an extra 1.5 million workers automatically enrolled into a pension scheme.

The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) has opened a consultation on its proposal to call for out of cycle valuations following changes to the definition of money purchase benefits.

Up to 85% of businesses due to stage in the next 12 months do not feel qualified to meet their auto-enrolment (AE) duties, with many "completely unprepared" for staging, research reveals.

The RSA's David Pitt-Watson explains what the government needs to go if it wants to introduce collective defined contribution (CDC) to the UK.

Aon Hewitt's Kevin Wesbroom talks about the impact of the Budget on attempts to introduce collective defined contribution (CDC) to the UK.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) is set to ask DC trustees to wind-up schemes or transfer members in a bid to improve standards in smaller plans.

The National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) has stressed the importance of value over low cost in reforming the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS).

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has almost doubled the amount it will spend on auto-enrolment (AE) enforcement in 2014/15.

Local government minister Brandon Lewis has questioned whether Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) representatives are "telling the truth" about fund performance.

Workers could lose out as a result of the changes announced in the Budget if they lead to less pooling of longevity risk, warns shadow pensions minister Gregg McClymont.
