Pastures new…
As I said right back at the beginning “I started this blog because I think it’s important to create a consensus around the future of pensions policy.” We have achieved a great deal since then – the Pensions Bill is now passing through the House of Lords and our state pension reforms carry the consensus of all parties. When we published further details on our proposals for automatic enrolment and personal accounts in June I was particularly pleased to note the continuing support of our stakeholders. And perhaps most heartening of all were the recently published findings from our “Attitudes to Pensions 2006″ survey – with 80% of people in favour of personal accounts.
Of course there is still plenty for Government to do in order to deliver our promised reform of pensions. I’m sure you will continue to follow developments with interest. For now I just wanted to thank you for following this blog, for taking time to send in your comments and helping us shape our policies and build that all important consensus.
