43 Eligibility: schemes treated as money purchase schemes

(1) Subject to paragraph (3), where the Board considers that the conditions specified in paragraph (2) are met in relation to an occupational pension scheme— (a) an occupational pension scheme which would otherwise be an eligible scheme is not an eligible scheme in relation to any period before 1st April 2015; (b) the scheme becomes an eligible scheme on 1st April 2015; and (c) the relevant Pension Protection Fund provisions apply in relation to the scheme with effect from that date. (2) The conditions specified in this paragraph are that immediately before the appointed day— (a) the scheme included benefits which are not money purchase benefits; and (b) the trustees or managers of the scheme treated the scheme as if it were a money purchase scheme and, for that reason, was not an eligible scheme. (3) Paragraph (1)(b) and (c) does not apply where— (a) the scheme falls within the description of schemes which are not eligible schemes specified in regulation 2 of the Entry Rules Regulations (schemes which are not eligible schemes); (b) an insolvency event has occurred in relation to the employer in relation to the scheme before 1st April 2015; or (c) the trustees or managers of the scheme have during the period beginning with the appointed day and ending immediately before 1st April 2015, entered into a legally enforceable agreement, the effect of which is to reduce the amount of any debt due to the scheme under section 75 of the 1995 Act (deficiencies in the assets) which may be recovered by, or on behalf of, the trustees or managers of the scheme. (4) Paragraph (3)(b) applies in relation to a multi-employer scheme that is a non-segregated scheme as if the reference to “the employer in relation to the scheme” were a reference to the employer who is the only remaining employer in relation to that scheme. (5) Paragraph (3)(c) does not apply where the conditions specified in regulation 2(3)(a) or (b) of the Entry Rules Regulations would be met if the scheme had been an eligible scheme in the period beginning with the appointed day and ending immediately before 1st April 2015. (6) In this regulation, “insolvency event” has the meaning given by section 121 of the 2004 Act (insolvency event, insolvency date and insolvency practitioner).

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
