Why do you believe they should be illegal?

Because pensions are hardly the core business of the likes of BT etc

You want every company restricted to its core business by law? Have you
even thought about the implications of this?

Why, then, should they be running a pension scheme - for which
they continue to have liability, whether or the company does well or
not. What was the issue with Green and BHS? Pensions.

You think the reason BHS failed was its pension liability?


What did Maxwell
raid? The company pension pot. The main thing I seem to keep hearing
about company pension schemes is whether they are solvent or not.

Moving pensions to an independant provider is a guarantee of solvency?
After all, that would be a core business of the likes of RBS. ;-)
