To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what information his Department holds on how many transfers into Small Self-Administered Scheme pensions have taken place in each of the last five years.
An Options Assessment was published alongside the consultation on Protecting Pension Savers - Proposals to Amend the Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Conditions for Transfers) Regulations 2021, analysing the impacts of the proposed regulatory changes. This highlights there may be over 100 transfers into SSASs each year and where this is a scam, individuals may be losing on average £23,800. The proposed changes could result in a reduction of £2 million over 10 years alongside stopping the financial distress and mental health impact these scams can have on individuals and their families.

Individuals who are required to verify are encouraged to use GOV.UK One Login where possible. This offers several routes, including using photo ID, answering online security questions, or attending a Post Office with appropriate documents. Where an individual is unable to complete verification using any One Login route, they can instead use an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), such as an accountant or solicitor, to verify their identity on their behalf. ACSPs must meet Companies House’s identity verification standard. Companies House also provides tailored support or reasonable adjustment.

Identity verification (IDV) became mandatory on 18 November 2025 for directors, equivalent roles in other registrable legal entities, and People with Significant Control (PSCs). Before the introduction of IDV, there was no requirement for verification on incorporation or appointment.
IDV is generally a one-off process, meaning most individuals will not need to repeat it. However, verification statements must still be submitted for each directorship and PSC notification.

This Government is committed to supporting the growth and long-term success of the mutual sector, including building societies, in line with its manifesto commitment to double the size of the mutual and co‑operative sector.
The Government recognises the importance of member ownership and engagement as a defining feature of mutuals. Within the existing legislative and regulatory framework, it is generally for individual building societies and their members to determine detailed governance arrangements, including matters such as executive remuneration, board composition and the format of annual general meetings.
The Government has no current plans to introduce prescriptive requirements in these areas, but will continue to keep the framework under review as part of its broader work to support mutuals.

Decisions on eligibility for COVID-19 financial support schemes were taken by the previous government. The Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) supported self-employed individuals whose incomes were adversely affected by COVID-19. The scheme was based on HMRC's Income Tax Self-Assessment system, through which people submit their tax returns, to target support as much as possible on those who needed it most, but also to minimise the risk of error and fraud.
