FOI reference - FOI-6764
Date - 5 May 2022
Request
Can you please tell me as a freedom of information request, how much the compilation, investigation and issuing of The Pensions Regulator (TPR) Warning Notice in relation to MNRPF, the Determinations Panel hearing and decision and the ongoing issues since the Determinations Panel decision caused by the MNPEG refusing to accept the Determinations Panel decision and failing to appeal its decision has cost the taxpayer?
The costs should start from November 2017 when Mr Preston and Mr Coloe approached TPR without the knowledge of the full Board and made a number of spurious and libellous comments that are contained in the TPR note of that meeting.
Response
I can confirm that we hold information falling within scope of your request. However, we are unable to supply some of the requested information for the reasons set out below.
Information we are able to supply
TPR's total external spend on this case to date is £67,125. There has not been any external spend on this case since March 2021.
Information we are not able to supply
We are unable to supply a figure for internal spending on the case as this information is not recorded. Internal staff will often spend time working on multiple cases, with potential overlap at times.
