Request
I understand that when defined benefit schemes commence wind-up, they are required to notify you of this by completing the information on the winding up your DB scheme pages.
Similarly, defined contribution schemes must also inform TPR if they need to wind up a DC scheme.
Please provide, for each calendar year available, from 2005 up to the most recent available year, the number of pension schemes that have reported to the Pensions Regulator that they are commencing wind-up, split between defined benefit and defined contribution schemes.
