I am not sure, to be honest. I am not familiar with that scheme. If the Deputy wants, I can set up something between her and my officials to tease the issue out and see if anything can be done.

The fundamental job of trustees is to look after the interests of the people who are the fund's beneficiaries. Generally, but not always, the trustees are selected from among those people. One would expect there to be representatives of the pensioners, deferred members and the employer among the trustees. Exactly why they are not looking after the interests of the people whom they are supposed to be looking after I cannot say, unfortunately.
