British Home Stores: Pensions

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will review, or charge others to review, the performance of the trustees of the BHS pension schemes, and whether the current trustees are fit and proper to continue performing that role at BHS and other pension schemes.

Answer

The investigation into the BHS pension schemes, including the role of the trustees, is a matter for the independent Pensions Regulator.

The actions of the trustees and competence of the trustees are among the issues that we would expect the Regulator to be considering as part of its investigations.
