Pensions


Book Description

This document summarises the first report by the Pensions Commission, an independent body established by the Government (following the publication of the Pensions Green Paper ("Simplicity, security and choice: working and saving for retirement", Cm 5677, ISBN 0101567723) in December 2002) in order to review the adequacy of current arrangements for private pensions and retirement savings in the UK and to make recommendations on appropriate policy changes. The report sets out the Commission's detailed analysis of the current situation and trends in place, challenges identified and options for policy responses; and seeks to stimulate a structured, comprehensive fact-based debate about the problems facing Britain's pension system which can contribute to the development of a sustainable pensions policy. The Commission's second report is planned for Autumn 2005 and this will include specific policy recommendations, following a public consultation period to the end of January 2005. The main report ((ISBN 0117027804) and a pack containing the report, appendices and executive summary documents (ISBN 0117027812) are available separately.
