HC Deb 21 June 2000 vol 352 c213W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people lost pension entitlements because their company pension schemes were underfunded and were wound up in each year since 1990. [126412]

Mr. Rooker

The Pension Schemes Registry indicates that since April 1997, the first date at which reliable information is available, a total of about 22,500 occupational pension schemes have been recorded as having wound up. However, no information is available as to how many of these schemes are salary-related schemes that were underfunded on wind-up.
