The Government already requires occupational pension schemes over a certain size to report in line with the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures recommendations.<\/p>

<\/p>

With regards to fiduciary duties, The Pension Regulator already provides guidance setting out that climate-related risks should be managed alongside other risks that trustees consider as part of their fiduciary duties.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4169", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Viscount Younger of Leckie"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-07-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-07-17T13:56:45.307Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-07-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Workplace Pensions"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government under what statutory provisions they have powers to legislate (1) to require occupational pension schemes to report on their impacts on water, circular economy, pollution and biodiversity, and (2) to clarify occupational pension schemes\u2019 fiduciary duties.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1649", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Hayman"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Hayman"} ], "uin" : "HL9028"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1612586", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1612586/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

DWP do not hold this data.<\/p>

<\/p>

A policy paper has been published showing the number of people who save into an occupational pension under net pay arrangements whose taxable pay is below the personal allowance is estimated to be 1.2 million in 2026-27. In 2023/24, the Personal Allowance is £12,570.<\/p>

<\/p>

Women are estimated to make up 75% of those earning below the personal allowance and contributing to a pension scheme that uses net pay arrangements. The 1.2 million can therefore be broken down into around 0.3 million men and 0.9 million women.<\/p>
