Written question asked by Lord Myners (Crossbench) on Tuesday, 26 April 2016, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 11 May 2016. It was answered by Baroness Altmann (Conservative) on Tuesday, 3 May 2016 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.


British Home Stores: Pensions

Question

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

Answer

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.
