The Bishop of St Albans received the following written answer on 28th June 2021:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked Her Majesty’s Government:
- what recent consideration they have given to ensuring that there is (1) compensation, and (2) support, available to those affected by the collapse of Equitable Life.
- what plans they have to assess the methodology used to calculate the money owed to Equitable Life policyholders as part of the compensation scheme established under the Equitable Life (Payments) Act 2010, and (2) the accuracy of the figures produced by that methodology.
Lord Agnew of Oulton (Con, Treasury): The methodology for calculating payments to Equitable Life policyholders was published in 2011.
The Equitable Life Payment Scheme closed to claims in 2015 and there are no plans to reopen the Payment Scheme or review the £1.5 billion funding allocation previously made to it.
