PwC has urged the government to scrap the state pension age (SPA) after research found four out of ten people want more flexibility around when they can access their retirement benefits.

Pensions minister Steve Webb has led a House of Commons defeat of a "deeply flawed" opposition amendment on charges in the Pensions Bill.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is to consult on extending defined contribution (DC) charge disclosure proposals to defined benefit (DB) schemes.

Steve Webb's commitment to introducing a charge cap on auto-enrolment (AE) schemes has "shamefully" collapsed, Labour's Lord Desmond Browne says.

An opposition amendment that would have allowed the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to rethink its pot follows member proposals has been narrowly defeated in the House of Lords.

Organisations representing employers, consumers, workers and the elderly have joined the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) in urging the government to rethink its commitment to pot follows member.
