This consultation seeks your views on draft legislation needed to extend this new type of pension provision beyond single or connected Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) schemes.

It removes the exclusion of unconnected multiple employer CDC schemes from operating under the existing CDC provisions and sets out what CDC schemes that are whole-life unconnected multiple employer schemes must do to become authorised and to operate effectively under regulatory oversight.

We ask specific questions about some elements of the draft regulations and would also welcome broader views on whether the regulations effectively deliver our intended outcomes.
