Pension Protection Fund: Assets
Asked by: Baroness Altmann (Non-affiliated - Life peer) Wednesday 25th March 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the consistency of current policy to count the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) reserves towards the Public Sector Net Fiscal Liability with the statutory purposes of the Pensions Act 2004; and whether they have sought legal advice on whether treating PPF assets as part of the public sector balance sheet for fiscal rule purposes is compatible with the statutory framework. Answered by Baroness Sherlock - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) The Office for National Statistics (ONE) is the independent body responsible for economic classification decisions in the UK. Following international statistical guidance, the ONS has classified the PPF as a public pension fund, while the levies to fund the PPF are classified as taxes. The way the PPF Board’s assets and liabilities are treated within the public finances does not affect the legal separation of the property of the Crown and Board as set out in the Pensions Act 2004. |
