Labour

The Conservatives are the most trusted party when it comes to pensions, with almost three out of ten Buzz respondents saying they had faith in the Tories.

The Labour party has confirmed its policy to restrict higher-rate pensions tax relief to fund job creation will be in its 2015 manifesto, and will run for at least five years if the party is elected.

A group of Labour lords have tabled an amendment to the Pensions Bill that would force the government to impose a pension scheme charge cap by 30 April 2015.

Labour MP Rachel Reeves has demanded Prime Minister David Cameron "clarify" the government's position on a charge cap for defined contribution (DC) schemes.

Labour has vowed to push through a pension charge cap and make using an annuity broker mandatory should it win the next general election.

Jack Jones says the right is shifting left on pensions

A Parliamentary early day motion praising (EDM) the decision to raise savings caps of share schemes has been supported by MPs from across the political spectrum.

Prime Minister David Cameron has said the state pension will continue to rise by at least 2.5% a year until 2020 if the Conservatives win the next election.

Shadow pensions minister Gregg McClymont has attacked the government's consultation on scheme charges as too short and "phoney".

The use of an annuity broker at retirement could be written into the latest version of the Pensions Bill after Labour tabled an amendment to the legislation.
