PP Online looks back at a very busy year for pensions. Here's what happened between July and September.

The Treasury and Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have launched a consultation on merging financial guidance services into a unified body to provide a more efficient and central support service.

This week's biggest stories included coverage of the final day of the landmark British Airways case in the High Court, PP's definitive list of the top pension schemes in the UK, and the government revealing details on its 2017 auto-enrolment review.

Auto-enrolment (AE) has reached seven million people since it first launched four years, according to The Pension Regulator's (TPR) latest figures.

While employers continue to be a "conduit" for pension savings, more emphasis must be placed on promoting individual responsibility according to the pensions minister.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will issue a green paper on the future of defined benefit (DB) schemes in early 2017, the pensions minister has confirmed.

Richard Harrington has said he has no objection to giving trustees the right to change indexation in rare cases, as long as members are protected against higher living costs.
