Andrew Long has been announced as the new chair of the Determinations Panel of The Pensions Regulator (TPR). He will take up his position in April 2013, when current panel chair John Scampion will stand down after his second term of office.

Having been a member of the panel since 2011, Long is also currently acting chair of the Regulatory Decisions Committee at the FSA and is a judge of the First Tier Tax Tribunal.

TPR chair Michael O’Higgins said: “John has done an excellent job over the last eight years, presiding over the panel since its inception. We are grateful for his commitment and leadership throughout his tenure, and for the quality of the panel’s independent decision-making as new and more complex risks have emerged. I am confident that the panel will continue its high quality of work under Andrew’s leadership.”

Speaking on his appointment, Long said: “I’m delighted and look forward to chairing the panel from April. The panel has a key role in pensions regulation, and I expect the cases on which the regulatory teams seek the panel’s determination to continue to be both challenging and interesting.”
