Pension Fund Trustees

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what steps he is taking to support individuals who assume responsibility as trustees of pension funds.
Answer

Trustees do a vital job in the management of occupational pensions.As a result of the measures introduced in the Pensions Act 2004 trustees will—for the first time—have access to support in their work through codes of practice issued by the Pensions Regulator. My predecessor asked the Pensions Management Institute to assist in co-ordinating a new trustees' Forum. I am looking forward to the first meeting of the Forum next week
