In fewer than eight years there will be just one million defined benefit savers in the UK, while defined contribution schemes will cover 16 million workers, the Pensions Policy Institute predicts.

MPs should ditch their gold-plated pension arrangements and move to a defined contribution (DC) scheme, Saga director-general Ros Altmann says.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) will aim to prosecute companies that wilfully evade their auto-enrolment duties.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has published a list of key features that defined contribution (DC) schemes "need to be able to demonstrate" to show they will deliver good outcomes for savers.

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has downplayed the impact of charges on pension pots, pointing instead to the importance of increasing contributions and saving earlier.
