Protecting pension savers – five years on from the pension freedoms: Saving for later life

Inquiry

This inquiry is looking at saving for later life and what more needs to be done to help people plan and save for retirement.

We are interested in:

  • Whether households in the UK have enough pension savings for retirement
  • What advice and guidance people need when saving for retirement
  • What the Government should be doing to support self-employed people to save for retirement
  • What the Government could be doing to close the gender pension gap

Read the call for evidence to learn more about the inquiry.

The Committee went on to publish a second call for evidence focussed specifically at employers and their representatives and trade unions.

 

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Wednesday 8 June 2022.
