Section 30: Periodic reporting requirement
This section requires that during a triggering event period the trustees of a Master Trust scheme must submit periodic reports to the Pensions Regulator. The reports must record events or decisions and contain such other information to be set out in regulations under subsection (4). The trustees must report on progress in carrying out the implementation strategy (sections 26 and 27).
The timing for the submission of the first report must be set out in regulations under subsection (2), and subsequent reports will be submitted at intervals to be specified by the Pensions Regulator (subsection (3)). Under subsection (4), the report will need to report on progress in carrying out the implementation strategy and regulations will set out further detail of the content required in the report, and the form in which it is made.
A penalty for failure to comply under Article 10 of the Pensions (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 applies to a person who fails to follow the reporting requirements imposed by this section.
Subsection (6) provides that regulations under this section are subject to negative resolution.
