answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2024 answer text <p>While all pensions legislation is kept under review as a matter of course, there are currently no plans to amend the Pension Protection Fund rules on pre-97 indexation of pension contributions. The evidence given by the Minister for Pensions, on 10 January 2024, was clear that these are complex issues which will need careful consideration. DWP will continue to consider this issue, determining the scope and taking the time required for full consideration. There is no intention of publishing this advice.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 08/02/2024 13:54:42 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
