Detail of feedback received

The responses to this consultation are attached. We received 47 responses from a variety of organisations. Having considered these responses, the government concluded there was not a compelling case to amend the regulations. It is important that trustees are supported in understanding heir responsibilities in taking investment decisions, and The Pensions Regulator is supporting trustees in doing this. Guidance provided by the Law Commission has been shared with trustees by The Pensions Regulator, and The Pension Regulator鈥檚 own guidance has been updated to reflect the Law Commission鈥檚 findings.
