The Financial Assistance Scheme Regulations 2011 – consultation on the draft regulations
This consultation document seeks views on the draft Financial Assistance Scheme Regulations 2011. These draft regulations contain an addition to the qualification provisions and some revisions to the payment provisions for the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS).

The Government has taken this opportunity to consolidate the existing 12 sets of FAS Regulations that govern FAS payments and the administration of the Scheme and to simplify the regulatory structure.
This consultation is aimed at the pensions industry, and members of defined benefit pensions schemes who may be covered by the FAS.
