Media statement on the announcement of a Pensions Bill in the King's Speech
Rory Marsh, Customer Life Stage Director at Royal London:
"The Pensions Scheme Bill announced as part of today’s King’s Speech is largely a continuation of changes that were already underway. What will be key is the Government’s promised pensions review. This review must focus on building on the success of automatic enrolment, as this will have the greatest impact on people’s retirement outcomes and support the level of investment available to finance UK economic growth."
