Lord Myners – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Myners on 2016-05-03.

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.

Baroness Altmann

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.
