Between the 1950s and 2006 the Government Actuary’s
Department carried out a series of major surveys of occupational pension
schemes
in
the United
Kingdom.
The
surveys determined the extent to which employees
in
the United Kingdom were covered by occupational pension
schemes and analysed the nature of the benefits provided,
the contributions paid and other pension topics of interest
to the government, employers and employees. Each survey
was based on information obtained from a large and
comprehensive sample of pension schemes.
Responsibility for these surveys transferred to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in 2006.
All enquiries regarding the occupational pension scheme surveys should be addressed to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Their contact details are as follows:
