Lord Myners – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Myners on 2016-04-26.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will review decisions taken by the Pensions Regulator in connection with the BHS pension schemes.

Baroness Altmann

In accordance with Parliament’s wishes, the Regulator has operational independence. Whilst performance against its key targets is regularly reviewed by the Department, this does not encompass its regulatory decision-making or the conduct of its investigations. It would be entirely inappropriate and improper for Ministers to comment on or intervene in these areas.
