Pensions dashboards: MPs to examine progress on one-stop shop for pension info

28 February 2025

The Work and Pensions Committee will hold an evidence session examining progress towards delivering online pensions dashboards that would enable people to find information on all their pension pots and their value in one place.

Although no date has been set for the introduction of the first dashboard, namely the Government’s MoneyHelper, 31 October 2026 is the deadline by which pension schemes and providers must ready their data for the dashboards. However, recent news reporting has raised concerns whether this is achievable.

MPs will question industry representatives on, among other things, their preparation to have the data ready to share by the autumn 2026 deadline and their experience of developing commercial dashboards.

Regulators from the Financial Conduct Authority and The Pensions Regulator – who both have jurisdiction in elements of the dashboards project – will be quizzed on how they are working with each other and stakeholders to ensure reasonable and responsible regulation.

The DWP’s Money and Pensions Service, overseeing the Pensions Dashboards Programme and construction of the Government’s MoneyHelper dashboard, will give evidence on the industry reaction to and progress towards a staged connection between industry data and the dashboards. This phasing in is intended to help prevent technical hitches on the deadline date for data preparation.
