An all party parliamentary to investigate the failure of the Visteon pension scheme, set up by MP Stephen Metcalfe, has achieved formal recognition.

Leading asset managers and insurers have donated more than £90,000 to a parliamentary group on corporate governance.

More than 200 ex-Visteon workers have descended on Parliament to demand the restoration of their pension rights on the third anniversary of the collapse of their former employer.

An e-petition calling for the restoration of age-related tax allowances has been signed by more than 25,000 people since it was launched last Thursday.

MPs have rejected calls to reintroduce the Retail Prices Index for pensions uprating in a debate triggered by an online petition which attracted more than 100,000 signatories.

The constraints on the National Employment Savings Trust were not integral to the organisation qualifying for state aid, says pensions minister Steve Webb.

Pensions minister Steve Webb today hinted at his reluctance to legislate to ban active member discounts in pension schemes.

The decision to switch indexation measures for pensions uprating could be debated in parliament again after an e-petition criticising the move attracted more than 100,000 signatures.

The National Audit Office has opened an investigation into The Pensions Regulator's handling of the defined contribution industry.
