Pensions minister Steve Webb has said the government is "absolutely prepared" to cap private pension fund management charges if they hinder saving.

The method chosen by the Department for Work and Pensions for equalising guaranteed minimum pensions could be challenged, a lawyer says.

The Department for Work and Pensions will run a series of adverts for auto-enrolment at a cost of £11m.

The government has today laid out how schemes should go about equalising guaranteed minimum pensions.

The government is considering scrapping indexation for defined benefit pension schemes as part of its promise to reinvigorate occupational pensions, the pensions minister confirms.

Low-cost providers have demanded equal footing with the National Employment Savings Trust in the Department for Work and Pensions' communications.

Labour pensions spokesman Gregg McClymont has warned Steve Webb lacks the "political weight" to drive through pension policy following the delay to auto-enrolment.

The Pensions Regulator is seeking to strike a ‘difficult balance' in monitoring compliance with auto-enrolment without overloading the pensions industry with demands for information.
