The government will launch a new campaign highlighting the potential fines faced by small companies not complying with auto-enrolment (AE).

MP for Watford Richard Harrington has been named the parliamentary under-secretary of state for pensions.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed auto-enrolment (AE) contribution rate rises will be delayed until April 2018.

Allowing certain women to access their state pension early would have little or no benefit for those affected by the rise in age, according to Royal London's Steve Webb.

The Work and Pensions Select Committee has started a probe to explore the economic effects of allowing certain women to draw their state pension early.

Women affected by the increase in state pension age from 63 to 66 could access their savings early if they accept lower weekly payments, according to MPs.

The majority of employers who have successfully introduced auto-enrolment (AE) are only contributing the minimum legal amounts, according to Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) research.

John Cridland has been appointed to lead an independent review of the State Pension age.

Proposed changes to simplify the automatic enrolment (AE) process for employers may actually make it more complex for limited liability partnerships (LLPs), according to Sackers.

Citizens Advice has welcomed news that the Treasury will legislate to cap pension early exit charges levied on savers using pension freedoms.
