Pensions minister sets out timetable for Pension Schemes Act regulations
Opperman: We are now progressing secondary legislation to ensure the UK’s pension system is safer, better and greener
Pensions minister Guy Opperman has set out a timetable for secondary legislation to bring Pension Schemes Act provisions into force.
In a written ministerial statement released yesterday evening (2 March), Opperman said that, now the Pension Schemes Act 2021 has received Royal Assent, the government was progressing the secondary legislation to "ensure the UK's pension system is safer, better and greener".
He said the sequencing of the subsequent legislation will allow for proper consultation, engagement with key stakeholders and further parliamentary debate, through affirmative procedure where required.
