Red Tape Robin Ellison Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-42695-4 — Red Tape Robin Ellison Frontmatter More Information RED TAPE Red Tape tells the sometimes astonishing story of the making of laws, both good and bad, the recent explosion in rule making and the failure of repeated attempts to rationalise the statute books – even governments themselves are concerned about the increasing number and complexity of our laws. Society requires the rule of law, but the rule of too much law means that the general public faces frustrating excesses created by overzeal- ous regulators and lawmakers. Robin Ellison reveals the failure of repeated attempts to limit the number and complexity of new laws, and the expan- sion of regulators. He challenges the legislature to introduce fewer yet bet- ter laws and regulators by encouraging lawmakers to adopt practices that improve the eiciency of the law and the lives of everyone. Too much law leads to frustration for all – Red Tape is a long overdue exposé of our legal system for practitioners and consumers alike. robin ellison is a solicitor, a consultant with an international law irm, Pinsent Masons, where he specialises in the development of pensions and related inancial services products for insurers and other providers, and is the Cass Business School Professor of Pensions Law and Economics, City, University of London. He acts for a number of governments and govern- ment agencies and has been an adviser to the House of Commons Select Committee on Work and Pensions. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org -

Pension Schemes Bill Delegated Powers
Pension Schemes Bill Delegated Powers Memorandum from DWP to the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee June 2014 Pension Schemes Bill Delegated Powers Contents Introduction................................................................................................................. 3 Background and Summary ......................................................................................... 4 Analysis of delegated powers by clause..................................................................... 7 Annex – Delegated powers in the Pension Schemes Bill ......................................... 30 Pension Schemes Bill Delegated Powers Introduction 1. The Pension Schemes Bill was introduced in the House of Commons on 26th June 2014. 2. This memorandum identifies the provisions for delegated legislation in the Bill. It explains the purpose of the powers, the reasons why they are left to delegated legislation, the Parliamentary procedure selected for the exercise of these powers and why that procedure has been chosen. 3. The Department has followed the precedent in pensions legislation by setting out the overall legislative framework on the face of the Bill but giving the Secretary of State the power to make detailed provision in secondary legislation. This is due partly to the fact that it is considered inappropriate for Parliamentary time to be spent on every detailed provision during the passage of the Bill, but is also a reflection of the fact that the content of such provisions may change from time to time. It is desired to avoid amending the primary legislation on each such occasion. However, both the initial provisions and any subsequent changes will be subject to what are considered to be appropriate Parliamentary safeguards. 3 Pension Schemes Bill Delegated Powers Background and Summary 4. In November 2013, the Government published a consultation paper, Reshaping workplace pensions for future generations, which outlined broad proposals for encouraging greater innovation and risk-sharing in private pension arrangements in the UK. -

Parliamentary Contributory Pension Fund
Parliamentary Contributory Pension Fund Standard Note: SN/BT/1844 Last updated: 3 March 2010 Author: Djuna Thurley Business and Transport Section The Parliamentary Contributory Pension Fund (PCPF) is a funded final salary scheme, where Members pay a fixed contribution, and the Exchequer is liable for the balance. In January 2008 the SSRB published the Review of Parliamentary Pay, Pensions and Allowances 2007. This recommended that any increase or decrease in pension cost pressures should be shared between the contributors and the Exchequer. It also recommended that the Exchequer contribution to the cost of benefit accrual should be limited to 20 per cent of payroll and that if it was likely to rise above this level, there should be a major review of the Fund. These recommendations were endorsed in principle by the House on 24 January. In June 2008, the Government announced that the Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) had now advised that the cost of accruing benefits was likely to rise above 20 per cent of payroll. This effectively triggered the need for the fundamental review recommended by the SSRB, and this was commissioned by the Prime Minister in February 2009. The GAD valuation of the Fund as at April 2008 assessed the Exchequer share of the cost of accruing benefits as 23.1% of salary. However, because additional contributions were needed to amortise the deficit in the PCPF (£50.9 million), the recommended Exchequer contribution rate from 1 April 2009 was 31.6% of salary, minus the value of any changes in member contributions or benefits introduced as part of a cost sharing or cost capping mechanism. -
