Part 3: Occupational pension schemes

Miscellaneous

Section 28: Technical amendment to section 42(6) of the Pension Schemes Act 1993

155.Section 28 amends an inaccurate cross-reference in section 42(6) of the PSA 1993. A missed consequential amendment, in provisions which amended Schedule 4 to the PSA 1993 contained within the PA 1995 and the WRPA 1999, means that the power in section 42(6) is unclear.

156.The power specified previously allowed the percentages stated in Schedule 4 to the PSA 1993 (in respect of contributions owed by bankrupt employers of salary-related contracted-out schemes) to be changed in line with changes to the rebate percentages. The amendment will ensure that this power is clear and refers to the correct paragraphs in Schedule 4 which contains the rebate percentages.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
