Frank Field

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has said it will take a more interventionist approach and take advantage of rarely-used powers to prevent problems as early as possible.

Work and pensions committee (WPC) chairman Frank Field has been awarded the 'outstanding contribution to the pensions industry' accolade at the Pensions Management Institute's (PMI) annual awards.

The Work and Pensions Committee (WPC) has urged the government to introduce new extra duties on big private companies and directors to prevent another BHS failure.

Frank Field has praised the appointment of a specialist counsel by the Insolvency Service (IS) as part of its enquiry into the demise of British Home Stores (BHS).

The government has blundered by failing to include rate hikes past 8% in its forthcoming review of automatic enrolment (AE), Frank Field has said.

A provisional deal between Sir Philip Green and The Pensions Regulator over the BHS pension schemes could be just 'days away', a Sky News report says.

The Pension Protection Fund's (PPF) decision to appoint an administrator for British Home Stores (BHS) independent of Sir Philip Green has been "vindicated" says Frank Field.

Administration costs for British Home Stores (BHS) are £1.3m higher than estimates given last June according to documents published by the Work and Pension Committee (WPC).

Members of the Work and Pensions Committee (WPC) have been urged to set up a broad inquiry into hidden costs and charges faced by pension schemes.

The Work and Pensions Committee (WPC) has called on the government to consult on giving the regulator new enforcement powers to avoid another British Home Stores (BHS) disaster.
