This week, respondents tell PP to stop deficit-watching, have no problem with NEST members using its default, and ask if DC members suffer from a lack of attention.

This question also divided respondents although 44% said The Pensions Regulator (TPR) was not failing on data.

Buzz respondents were split as to whether defined contribution (DC) members were suffering as a result of the attention employers paid to defined benefit (DB) deficits.
