The government is pledging to raise up to £7bn a year by 2015 by clamping down on "morally indefensible" tax evasion, a senior Lib Dem minister has said.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg believes the coalition needs to deliver a "difficult" budget today to ensure the UK can avoid the scenarios seen in Greece and Spain.

Liberal Democrat MP Steve Webb has been appointed as pensions minister to serve under Iain Duncan Smith at the DWP.

The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats coalition deal could have heavy implications for policies on tax relief on pension scheme contributions.

Gordon Brown said he accepted Liberal Democrats leader Nick Clegg will talk to the Tories about forming a Government before the Labour party.

The main parties may find it hard to agree on pensions policies including NEST, tax relief, early access to pensions savings and deregulation of DB schemes.
