The Occupational Pension Schemes (Minimum Funding Requirement and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2002 were accompanied by a regulatory impact assessment (RIA), a copy of which is available in the Library. The RIA included an assessment of the impact of the regulations on business, although this will have been affected by the subsequent replacement of the minimum funding requirement by new scheme funding requirements from December 2005. The cost to the Occupational Pensions Regulatory Authority (OPRA) of implementing the regulations, if any, is not separately identifiable.
