Defined contribution schemes will be managing around £800 billion in assets by the end of the decade and the Review will explore ways to increase their investment into UK productive assets. The Review will also look at how to unlock the investment potential of the £360 billion within the Local Government Pension Scheme, which manages the savings of those working to deliver our vital local services, as well as how to tackle the £2 billion that is being spent on fees.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4559", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Livermore"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Livermore"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-08-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-08-07T10:14:36.767Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-07-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Pension Funds"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the proportion of UK pension funds invested in UK companies, and what steps they are taking to increase such investment.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4958", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for The Earl of Effingham"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "The Earl of Effingham"} ], "uin" : "HL495"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1723952", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1723952/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
