The Pensions Ombudsman (Disclosure of Information) (Amendment of Specified Persons) Order 2005

This Order amends section 149(6) of the Pensions Schemes Act 1993 (c. 48) by adding to the list of persons to whom the Pensions Ombudsman may disclose any information which he obtains for the purposes of an investigation, if he considers that the disclosure would enable or assist that person to discharge any of his functions. The persons added to the list are the body corporate which operates the Financial Ombudsman Service, and any ombudsman of that service.
