The Government's Proposals on Regulation, Information, Advice and Governance

The Government has just published its 4th and 5th consultation papers. Brief no. 4 looks at the regulation of stakeholder schemes and the provision of information and advice to members. Brief no.5 looks at the type of governance structure which stakeholder schemes should have and whether there will be an alternative to trust based schemes. A copy of the full consultation papers are available at http://www.dss.gov.uk/hq/pubs/stakepen/govern.htm and http://www.dss.gov.uk/hq/pubs/stakepen/regulate.htm
