Request
a) Pursuant to FOI 5689, is it possible to supply equivalent data for five years earlier? We are interested in trends in professional trusteeship, so would like to see data for an earlier period – if precisely five years is not possible for some reason, some other earlier date would be acceptable;
b) If possible within the overall expense limit, is it also possible to say for the baseline year and the most recent year in how many cases a DB scheme has a sole trustee who is a professional trustee?
Response
I can confirm that we hold the information you have requested; please note figures are in relation to the financial year 2015/16.
