Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they are proposing to change rules relating to debts under section 75 of the Pensions Act 1995 to protect unincorporated employers from being made bankrupt as a result of debts calculated on a section 75 basis in non-associated multi-employer pension schemes which relate to other employers who have already left the scheme; and if so, how.

Following a Call for Evidence last year we are exploring alternative methods to help employers in multi-employer schemes manage section 75 employer debts.
