| The remit of this Study
Group is two-pronged: pensions and accounting standards. The group will
respond flexibly to whatever issues need consideration within the financial
services sector at any particular time.
Pensions Study Group update
I held a very successful meeting with the Pensions Minister, Malcolm Wicks,
at the House of Commons on 20 January. This meeting explored in a general
way how the group could be of use to Malcolm’s work and the minister
expressed a strong interest in meeting members of the study group and
informally talking over policy issues.
