Kate Smith, Head of Pensions at Aegon comments on the DWP’s consultation on Protecting Defined Benefit Pension Schemes - A Stronger Pensions Regulator. |
“We welcome today’s consultation which looks to strengthen the Pension Regulator’s powers and enable it to intervene much earlier to protect members’ pensions. In recent years we’ve seen a number of high profile cases, including the now notorious BHS pension scheme failure, where the tPR was either powerless to act, or acted too late, causing a lot of heartache for members. “The DWP is proposing that in future tPR will have to be notified of certain planned transactions or events such as the sale of a business where there is a Defined Benefit Scheme involved, which could weaken the sponsoring employer covenant. “Introducing an ‘early warning system’ alerting tPR to corporate transactions which could weaken the ability of a sponsoring employer to support the pension scheme has to be a good thing and should give members and trustees some comfort. But realistically tPR cannot and should not regulate or prevent corporate transactions.” |
