Low Pay: Retirement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what plans she has to ensure that low paid workers have adequate income in retirement.
Answered by Torsten Bell
This government is committed to enabling tomorrow’s pensioners to have security in retirement. The Pensions Commission has been revived to consider what is required in the long term to deliver a pensions framework that is stronger, fairer and more sustainable. Amongst other things, the Commission will look at how to improve retirement outcomes, especially for those on the lowest incomes and at the greatest risk of poverty or under-saving.
