Pensions Bill is good news for consumers

As Gordon Brown announces the Government’s focus for the next parliament, Peter Vicary-Smith, Chief Executive, Which? says: “It is very encouraging to see a commitment to a long-term solution to the pension crisis from Gordon Brown’s government.

“A low-cost, consumer-focussed Personal Accounts scheme will enable hundreds of thousands of people who wouldn’t previously have had access to long term savings to feel more secure in their retirement.

“We will continue to keep a close eye on the further development of the Pensions Bill and push for consumer interests to be at its heart.”
