answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>Subject to Parliamentary processes, the Pension Schemes Bill should gain Royal Assent in due course. The Pensions Regulator will be producing guidance on the use of the new criminal sanction powers and it plans to undertake a consultation first with industry to ensure these vital views are captured. There are also other powers in Part 3 of the Bill that require implementing regulations and the aim is for these powers to be available to the Pensions Regulator by autumn 2021. None of the provisions in Part 3 of the Bill will be retrospective and the new criminal sanctions and information gathering powers will apply to all schemes where the act occurs, or in the case of a series of acts commences, after the powers come into force.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 11/01/2021 14:10:58 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
