The DTI have today announced that they will delay implementing
the Age Discrimation Regulations, as they apply to pension schemes,
from 1 October 2006 to 1 December 2006.
The delay is to allow more time for schemes to adjust. It is
stated to be a response to concerns raised by the pensions industry
and others about changes needed to be made to schemes.
The delay will also allow the DWP to run an informal
consultation in which they will investigate whether any amendments
should be made to the current legislation.
