Pension Schemes Bill

Contribution

The amendment applies where the trustees or managers of a GB scheme, after deciding that an alteration is void for non-compliance with regulation 42(2)(a) and (b), take any step in the administration of the scheme that has (or will have) the effect of altering payments to beneficiaries. Under the amended subsection (7)(b) such a step will only be “positive action” (for the purposes of subsection (6)(c)) if they notify beneficiaries that they are taking or have taken the step. If that happens the alteration in question is not a potentially remediable alteration and so is ineligible for retrospective validation under clause 101 or 102.
