A pensions liberation working committee will be set up "within weeks" to create best practice guidelines for trustees, Pensions Administration Standards Association (PASA) chair Margaret Snowdon says.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) should reverse its decision to consolidate savers' pensions through a system that would see pots following members as they change jobs, says a thinktank.

The Pensions Administration Standards Association (PASA) has elected four new board members and retained three existing directors.

The Pensions Regular (TPR) has been asked not to publish a list of suspected pension liberators over fears it will make those running them harder to catch, Pension Administration Standards Association (PASA) chairman Margaret Snowdon says.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) is set to consider bringing administrators for defined contribution (DC) schemes under some form of regulation in order to ensure their "successful operation".

Last week saw the long-awaited publication of the Pensions Administration Standards Association's (PASA) code of conduct for provider transfers.

The Pensions Administration Standards Association (PASA) has published its code of conduct on administrator provider transfers in hope of ironing out issues in the industry.

The impending Pensions Administration Standard Association (PASA) code of conduct on transfers is likely to ban administrators from withholding manual calculation sheets when schemes change providers, PP understands.

Trustees' focus on maintaining service level agreements for transfers is hampering efforts to detect and stop pensions liberation scams, administrators warn.

Industry figure Margaret Snowdon is to join JLT Benefit Solutions as a director from next week.
