Pension Schemes Act: Making it real - in discussion with DWP and TPR
This week we hosted our webinar Pension Schemes Act: Making it real - in discussion with DWP and TPR.
Our expert speakers included:
- Jo Gibson, Head of Defined Benefit Pensions at Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
- David Fairs, Executive Director at The Pensions Regulator (TPR)
- Mike Smedley, Partner at Isio
When asked what success of the Act looked like, Gibson said the key objective was to protect pension scheme members and what they had saved. She reassured the audience that it was not in place to ‘hinder normal business activity’ but instead would allow the regulator to take action where necessary and ‘capture those who want to recklessly run a pension scheme’. Fairs agreed and added: “The package of measures will also help us improve our efficiency.”
