BBC Radio 4 - File on 4, Pensions crisis

Investigating allegations that some companies are failing their pension fund obligations.

Fran Abrams investigates allegations that some companies are dumping their pension fund obligations and leaving the Pensions Protection Fund to pick up the bill.

Five years ago the government promised to provide a safety net for when pension funds went bust, but this new scheme is already more than a billion pounds in deficit. Fran Abrams investigates allegations that some companies are simply dumping their obligations and leaving the Pensions Protection Fund - and in some cases the taxpayer - to pick up the bill.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
