The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether he plans to table an amendment to the Pension Schemes Bill to allow him to amend the Pension Protection Fund through secondary legislation.

We are committed to actively consider and reflect on what we have heard regarding the Pension Protection Fund and Financial Assistance Scheme rules on the indexation of pre-1997 pension accruals. We understand that it is an important issue for affected members.
