This is a matter for the independent Pensions Regulator, which oversees work-based pension schemes and has launched an anti-avoidance case in respect of the BHS schemes. This must be allowed to run its course, so it would be inappropriate for Ministers to meet those involved with the schemes at this time.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 14/11/2016 16:44:24 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
