Summary
Key Points: 
  • Commenting on todays announcement of the appointment of a new Chief Executive to The Pension Regulator, to succeed Lesley Titcomb, Rt Hon Frank Field MP said:
    We wish Charles Counsell well in his new role.
  • But this appointment is unlikely to leave unscrupulous company directors quaking in their boots.
  • As someone who was part of TPRs board while it failed to prevent the directors of BHS and Carillion running their pension schemes into the ground, he will have a long way to go to demonstrate that he really is the new broom thats so desperately needed.
  • Alongside this, the Committee is today publishing a series of correspondence on the process for appointing the new chief executive.
