- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the consultation entitled ‘Trust-based pension schemes: Trustees and governance, building a stronger future’, whether he is taking steps to ensure future guidance doesn’t impede on the primary duty of pension fund trustees.
- Answer

Trustees of occupational pension schemes must act in accordance with their legal and fiduciary duties and in the interests of scheme members. The consultation ‘Trust-based pension schemes: Trustees and governance, building a stronger future’ seeks views on trustee standards, governance and administration and does not alter those duties.
