The Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Consultation by Employers and Miscellaneous Amendment) Regulations 2006

Made

2006

Coming into force in accordance with regulation 1(2) and (3)

These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 10(5)(a), 259(1) and (2), 260(1), 261(2) and (4), 286(1) and (3)(g), 315(2), (3) and (5) and 318(1), (4)(a) and (5) of the Pensions Act 2004(1).

In accordance with section 317(1) of that Act, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions has consulted with such persons as he considers appropriate, except in the case of regulation 22, to which section 317(2)(b) of that Act applies, as it appears to the Secretary of State that by reason of urgency consultation is inexpedient.

A draft of this instrument has been laid before Parliament in accordance with section 316(2)(m) and (n) of the Pensions Act 2004 and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.

Accordingly, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions makes the following Regulations:

(1)

2004 c.35. Sections 259 and 261 have been modified by regulation 2 of the Occupational Pension Schemes (Consultation by Employers) (Modification for Multi-employer Schemes) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/16). Section 318(1) is cited because of the meaning there given to “modifications”, “prescribed” and “regulations”.
