Pensions analysis: The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has launched a consultation on strengthening the powers of The Pension Regulator (TPR) in relation to defined benefit pension schemes by improving the scope of the notifiable events regime, introducing draft regulations, and proposing new notices and accompanying statements.
