Conservatives

After a tumultuous few weeks of campaigning, the Conservative party won their largest majority since Margaret Thatcher's 1987 victory in last night’s general election, while Labour is facing its worst defeat since 1935.

All of the major political parties have now unveiled their policies on pensions ahead of the general election. Professional Pensions looks at what they have promised.

While the pension schemes bill was said to command cross-party support, Brexit and acrimonious parliamentary debates are leaving its success in doubt, says Malcolm McLean.

The Conservative party will hold reviews of the tapered annual allowance and net-pay schemes if it is elected back into government, it has said.

Work and pensions secretary Thérèse Coffey has reaffirmed the Department for Work and Pensions’ (DWP) pension commitments just over three weeks after taking office.

A campaign to divest the MPs' Pension Scheme from fossil fuel investments has gained the support of 200 MPs and former MPs across partisan lines.

Theresa May has reaffirmed her commitment to tackle "unacceptable abuse" of pensions by companies "lining their own pockets".

The Conservative Party has abandoned dropping the triple lock on the state pension in order to secure a confidence and supply deal with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).

This week's top stories include interest in various ministerial appointments and what the election result means for pensions policy.
