Pensions: Surveys

Asked by Kirsty BlackmanScottish National PartyDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 27 November 2025UIN 93726

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to his answer of 20 November to Question 91351, when he was first provided with DWP research report no. 447 “Evaluation of Automatic State Pension Forecasts”.

Answered by Torsten Bell

Ministers were informed of the relevance of report no. 447 and then provided with the full report in November 2025. We have decided to retake the decision as this report (no. 447) was not considered at the time of the original decision and was not shared with the previous Secretary of State.
