WPC chair Stephen Timms asks City of London Police why no criminal action has yet been taken

Plans to increase the normal minimum pension age (NMPA) to 57 should be annulled, or transitional protections removed, amid “scant evidence” to support the decision, says Quilter.

The government has been urged to extend the scheme pays deadline for NHS Pension Scheme members in light of the Covid-19 crisis.

Former pensions minister Stephen Timms has been elected chairman of the influential Work and Pensions Committee (WPC).

The government is to pay the tax bills of NHS workers caught out by changes to pension contribution limits who have been turning down additional work for fear of running up large tax bills.

The government has launched a consultation on amending the contribution rules of the NHS Pension Scheme in a bid to mitigate the possibility of members hitting tax allowances.

Mid-life MOTs are in danger of "missing those most in need of support", the government has been warned following a review of intergenerational fairness.
