Labour has accused the government of pandering to special interests as it delays lifting the restrictions on the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) until 2017.
Government should lift restrictions on the National Employment and Savings Trust's annual contributions and transfer terms "as a matter of urgency", the Work and Pensions Committee has said.
Employers need to be given a defined line between providing information and advice on pension arrangements, a select committee hears.

The annual contribution cap and pension transfer ban should be retained in NEST's initial period but it is essential they are both reviewed in 2017, David Yeandle says.
