The impact of using CPI as the measure of price increases on private sector occupational pension schemes – consultation on Government proposals
Start date 8 December 2010
End date 2 March 2011
This consultation set out the Government’s assessment of the impact of the decision to use the consumer prices index (CPI) as the measure of price increases on private sector occupational pension schemes. It sought views on an amendment to the Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Consultation by Employers and Miscellaneous Amendment) Regulations 2006. The consultation was aimed primarily at pension industry professionals and others with an interest in occupational pension schemes.

The consultation
Impact assessment
We re-published the impact assessment again on 12 July 2011 to take account of:
- research into private pension schemes rules published on 16 June 2011, and
- the latest Office of Budget Responsibility estimates of RPI and CPI inflation rates.
This Impact Assessment was re-published on the 11 February 2011 to correct an error in an earlier published draft and to accommodate methodological changes to some of the calculations.
