800 firms face defined benefit pension deficit
RESEARCH from the Pensions Regulator yesterday revealed that a quarter of the 2,000 company pension schemes due to agree a new funding arrangement by the end of year have a significant funding shortfall and would need to make large increases in additional payments to cover the deficit or make “substantial use” of other available facilities.
