HC Deb 04 March 2002 vol 381 c15W
14. Mr. Wiggin

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what plans he has to review the pensions regulatory regime. [36339]

Mr. McCartney

Last year I asked Alan Pickering to review the pensions regulatory framework. He will report in the summer of 2002.

At the same time we will have the report being prepared by Ron Sandler. Thereafter, we shall publish proposals on which we will consult, which will build on the reforms we have already made to reduce the regulatory burden and complexity, to ensure that both Government and employers can support saving for pensions and to ensure we have in place the right measures to build better pension provision.

Mr. Webb

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what plans he has to reduce the level of advice and information on pensioner benefits available at social security offices. [37521]

Mr. McCartney

None.
