The 2013 Disclosure Regulations

With effect from 6 April 2014, the Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Disclosure of Information) Regulations 2013, SI 2013/2734 (the 2013 Disclosure Regulations) consolidated the disclosure requirements previously contained in:

•
the Occupational Pension Schemes (Disclosure of Information) Regulations 1996, SI 1996/1655, and
•
the Personal Pension Schemes (Disclosure of Information) Regulations 1987, SI 1987/1110

into a single set of regulations which prescribe the information requirements applicable to trustees or managers of occupational pension schemes and personal pension schemes.

With effect from the same date, the two above regulations were consequently repealed.
