Insurance Companies

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to review the capital requirements of insurance companies and review governance arrangements to ensure that they can compete on an equal footing with pensions superfunds.

Answer

Her Majesty’s Government announced in the Department for Work & Pension’s recent White Paper ("Protecting Defined Benefit Pension Schemes") that it will consult later this year on an authorisation regime for “superfunds”. Her Majesty’s Government is in regular discussions with the relevant regulators and with industry, and will of course consider any potential impacts from possible changes carefully.
