Pension Schemes Bill
Asked by: Rushanara Ali (Labour - Bethnal Green and Stepney) Monday 9th February 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Minister for Pensions' oral contribution during the Report Stage of the Pension Schemes Bill on 3 December 2025, Official Report, column 1043, whether the proposed statutory guidance on fiduciary duties and subsequent amendments to it will be subject to the negative or affirmative procedure for statutory instruments. Answered by Torsten Bell - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury) Government has set out its intention to develop statutory guidance for the trust-based private pensions sector. The proposed guidance intends to clarify how trustees can interpret and apply their existing duties, particularly when considering wider or longer-term factors in investment decision-making. Government is developing this guidance in partnership with the pensions sector and will consult on the draft guidance.
Further details including the legislation to underpin strategy guidance will be published in due course. |

29 Jan 2026
Realising potential: Delivering the Child Poverty Strategy Work and Pensions Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions Members of the Education and Work and Pensions Select Committees have decided to undertake an inquiry that will consider how the Government can ensure it will deliver a successful Child Poverty Strategy. On 5 December 2025, the Government published its Child Poverty Strategy, which it estimates will lift 550,000 children out of poverty by the final year of this Parliament. The Strategy sets out measures across three different areas: (i) boosting family incomes; (ii) driving down the cost of essentials; and (iii) strengthening local support. Whilst the Strategy signals a positive step in the right direction, the Committees are seeking to explore if the Government is being sufficiently ambitious. The Committees will also consider how accountability, outcomes, and the longevity of the Strategy could be strengthened through targets, monitoring and evaluation, to ensure sustained work and progress to reduce child poverty. Please read Parliament's guidance on giving evidence to select committees before writing your submission. For safeguarding reasons and to avoid identification, please refrain from naming specific people, educational settings or children in your submission. We are unable to publish personal testimony evidence that is submitted anonymously or contains this information. Personal testimony evidence that cannot be published will be read and summarised into an anonymised thematic note. Your submission should be no more than 3,000 words. You can submit evidence until 23:59 on 6 March 2026. Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry |
