I am confident the pensions regulator can continue to perform this excellent service and handle the new personal accounts scheme with no detrimental effect to its existing role. Working with the pensions regulator we will put in place a simple, proportionate compliance regime which ensures employers meet their obligations without imposing any unnecessary burdens."
