The timeline for implementing DWP proposals under the 2017 automatic enrolment (AE) review is "shockingly lethargic", Royal London director of policy Steve Webb has said.

Steve Webb says as schemes may have to invest in systems to generate regular transfer values, offering valuable partial transfers shouldn't be too burdensome.

Members should have a limited legal right to partially transfer their defined benefit (DB) scheme, according to a joint report from Royal London and LCP.

The government has announced it will press ahead with "tough" measures to protect pension savers as figures reveal almost £5m was lost to scammers between January and May this year.

Last week's agreement on a regulated apportionment arrangement (RAA) to split Tata Steel UK (TSUK) from its defined benefit (SB) pension fund fails to answer fundamental questions.

Some 96% of retired households had disposable incomes of over £10,000 by the end of the 2016 financial year (FYE), a significant rise from just 21% in 1977, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

The reduction in the Money Purchase Annual Allowance (MPAA) from £10,000 to £4,000 per year will apply retrospectively from April 2017, after the Treasury confirmed plans to reintroduce tax relief cuts from that date.
