Staff at The Pensions Regulator (TPR) are staging the first of a series of strikes today in pursuit of a long-running pay dispute.

A former pension scheme trustee has been given a 10-month jail term, suspended for 12 months, after admitting using scheme funds to make five prohibited loans to entities connected to the scheme’s sponsoring employer.

The Pensions Regulator has called on trustees to help battle cyber-crooks by reporting significant cyber-related incidents as part of updated guidance to tackle the ongoing threat posed by cyber criminals.
