The coalition government will push ahead with NEST if the independent review panel decides the current structure is fit for purpose as well as tackle GMP equalisation and introduce a new Pensions Act, pension minister Steve Webb says.

The summer review of NEST could see the introduction of a minimum number of employees needed to trigger auto-enrolment, Hewitt Associates says.

A group of consumers has warned the department for work and pensions a "too broad" review of the 2012 reforms would compromise the "hard-won consensus" on auto-enrolment.

The industry has unanimously backed George Osborne's emergency Budget promise to investigate alternatives to the introduction of pension tax relief restrictions for high earners.
