The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking through the pensions system to increase economic growth.

Answered by Torsten Bell

We are now in the final phase of the Pensions Investment Review, and I look forward to publishing its final report in the coming months.

Our reforms, to Defined Contribution schemes and the Local Government Pension Scheme, will create fewer, larger pension funds with greater ability to invest in productive assets, supporting better returns for savers and higher growth for the UK.
