BP Targets £4 billion UK Pension Fund Surplus – Blocks Trustee for Fifth Consecutive Year

There are few things that annoy me more in pensions than the behaviour of BP’s management in blocking the Trustee’s wish to distribute part of its substantial surplus to members.

BP pensioners will be out in force at BP’s AGM today with lots of questions for the new Chairman and new CEO.

Pensions disputes may not be the biggest problem for BP’s new leaders – but the attractions of getting hands on a £4 billion surplus may be irresistible with Government’s new Pension Schemes Bill about to become law.
