Autumn Statement

The upcoming Financial Guidance and Claims Bill will not include the pensions cold calling ban, the Department for Work and Pensions has said.

Most respondents in last week's Pensions Buzz were not shocked by the revelation that thousands of DC schemes are breaching scheme return rules.

The chancellor's first Autumn Statement tinkered further with pensions. Jonathan Stapleton explains why this is the wrong way to approach long-term savings.

Here it is… A full list of all the benefits PP thinks will be exempted, protected and affected by the salary sacrifice restrictions announced by chancellor Philip Hammond yesterday.

The chancellor has confirmed the government will keep the state pension triple lock but warned it could be cut in future due to rising longevity.

The government has reaffirmed its commitment to crack down on pensions cold calling and give firms more powers to block suspicious transfers.

The government has announced a consultation into reducing the money purchase annual allowance (MPAA).

The chancellor will outline plans to ban pensions cold calling and give firms more powers to block suspicious transfers in this Wednesday's Autumn Statement.

There is much speculation over what next week's Autumn Statement could throw up for pensions, so what does the industry want to see?
