§ Ms HewittThe former Occupational Pensions Board was first notified on 22 December 1994 that the employer had gone into liquidation and that the Lund Humphries Pension scheme was to be wound up. However, it was not until 2 February 1996 that the Receiver contacted the former Occupational Pensions Board confirming the discontinuance date of 14 October 1994. Formal action to cancel the scheme was finalised on 23 April 1996. The former Contributions Agency supplied the relevant scheme membership listings and guaranteed minimum pension calculations to the scheme administrator on 9 September 1996. It is normal practice to supply the scheme membership listings and guaranteed minimum pension calculations to the scheme administrator appointed by the trustees unless otherwise instructed.
