Struggling employers get lifeline on pensions as funds crisis forces regulator to take action


A financial lifeline will be thrown this week to about 350 companies struggling to fund deluxe final salary pension schemes against the backdrop of a faltering economy. Without the regulator's decision to relax its approach to the funding of pension deficits – estimated to total about £255billion – it is feared that many scheme sponsors would be in danger of failing to meet their pension promises.

Why is this is not enough to make the trustees go back to the drawing board with DLH and the Pension Regulator for a review now the regulator is 'being more pragmatic' ?

Meanwhile DLH are still trading,still flying into the U.K, and seem to be doing rather well.
