Pensioners: Advocacy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions he has had with the Pensions Commission on engaging pensioner advocacy groups.
Answered by Torsten Bell
Last year the Government revived the Pensions Commission to explore the adequacy, fairness and sustainability of the pensions system and consider how to improve retirement outcomes for future generations of retirees. The Pensions Commission is engaging with and considering the views of a wide range of stakeholders as they complete their work, and this includes groups representing the views and needs of older people
The Pensions Commission published their interim report on 19 May 2026 setting out the key challenges facing the current pensions system and where it will focus its work next. Alongside their interim report, the Pensions Commission launched a Call for Views, open until 14 July, inviting responses from any interested stakeholders on the Commission’s view of the challenges facing pensions in the long-term future. This can be found on GOV.UK Pensions 2050: evidence and future priorities – interim report - GOV.UK
The Commission will publish its final report and recommendations early next year.
