The Pension Schemes Act 2026 (Act) received royal assent on 29 April 2026. It took less than a year from its first reading in the House of Commons, to becoming an act of Parliament. While the Act covers a variety of topics (release of surplus, superfunds, value for money and a remedy for the fallout from the Virgin Media case to name but a few), it mainly constitutes a framework that grants powers to make regulations. On 30 April, we published our short form publication, which looked at the highlights of the Act.
