CWU Response to Government Green Paper on Defined Benefit Pension Schemes

7th June 2017





Dear Colleague,



CWU Response to Government Green Paper on Defined Benefit Pension Schemes



The CWU has made the attached response to the Government’s Green Paper on ‘Security and Sustainability in Defined Benefit (DB) Pension Schemes’, which was agreed by the NEC in May.



The CWU’s response highlights the challenges facing the future sustainability of DB pension schemes, with reference to schemes where we have members, and calls for reforms to address these issues.



The response calls for a new regulatory approach for scheme valuation methods and investment strategies to ensure DB pensions are manageable and sustainable for the long term.



The response is also available on the CWU website at the following link: http://www.cwu.org/departments-services ... ses/other/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;



Any enquiries in relation to the content of this LTB should be addressed to the Head of Research.



Yours sincerely
