question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, for what reasons the National Employment Savings Trust is exempt from the requirements for improved governance of workplace pensions schemes set out in his Department's publication, Better workplace pensions: Putting savers' interests first, Cm 9000.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>The National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) is subject to most of the requirements set out in Better workplace pensions: Putting savers' interests first, Cm 9000. There are a small number of areas where NEST already has particular (usually stronger) governance requirements set out in the Pensions Act 2008. The rationale for exempting NEST from certain provisions in the Occupational Pension Scheme (Charges and Governance) Regulations 2015 was so as not to contradict these primary legislation requirements.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 09/06/2015 13:43:44 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what forecast he has made of when his Department's loan to meet the scheme implementation costs for the National Employment Savings Trust will be repaid; and what the process is for that repayment.
tabling member constituency	Wyre Forest
tabling member printed	Mark Garnier
uin	920
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>The exact amount of loan finance required to establish NEST and the length of the loan will ultimately depend on a range of factors including: NEST’s final costs; the nature and size of NEST’s membership and the revenue that this generates; and other macroeconomic factors. Once NEST’s revenues from charges exceed its annual running costs, it will begin to repay the capital loan. The European Commission’s decision on State aid for NEST noted a wide range of possible scenarios for the length of the loan ranging between 20 and 38 years.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 09/06/2015 11:42:24 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
