Mrs. Dunwoody: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what plans there are to ensure that occupational pension schemes have independent chairmen. [4620] Mr. McCartney: The Government are currently working on changes to the Pensions Act 1995 that will ensure that more members will have the opportunity to become trustees of their occupational pension scheme. We expect to introduce regulations during this parliamentary session. We have no plans to require the trustee boards of occupational pension schemes to have independent chairmen.
