Pension Schemes Bill awaits royal assent
The Pension Schemes Bill ping-pong match has finally come to an end after passing in the House of Lords yesterday. It will now make its way to the Queen for royal assent to be made into law.
Quote Of The Day
Expanding the Dormant Assets Scheme to include new assets in the insurance and pensions, investment and wealth management, and securities sectors provides the government with an exciting opportunity to support industry’s work to reunite more people with their forgotten assets. Where that is not possible, the scheme will enable that money to be put to good use, supporting responsible businesses to effect positive change by redirecting it to some of the UK’s most pressing issues.
