answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2022 answer text <p>The taxpayer funded Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) has been operational since 2005. It was set up to award financial assistance to members of eligible defined benefit pension schemes which started to wind up underfunded between 1 January 1997 and 5 April 2005. Since it was established, the FAS has been extended and improved several times, making the financial help more generous and encompassing more schemes and members. Therefore, the Government does not intend to take any steps in response to the Pensions Action Group.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott question first answered 08/12/2022 14:44:16 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott
