Administrative / biographical background:

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury made an announcement on 26 May 2010 that an independent commission would be set up to advise on the Equitable Life Payments Scheme. On 22 July 2010 the Financial Secretary announced the appointment of three Commissioners, with Brian Pomeroy as chairman.

The role of the Commission was to:

  • recommend how best to fairly allocate funds provided for the Equitable Life Payments Scheme in the first three years of the Spending Review to those persons found to have suffered Relative Losses as a result of accepted Government maladministration, excepting with-profits annuitants and their estates; and
  • advise on any groups/classes of persons that should be paid as a priority with regard to the timing of payments, again excepting with-profits annuitants and their estates.

The Commission was asked to report to the Government by the end of January 2011. Its Advice was published on 26 January 2011.
