A LONG-TERM commitment to the triple lock on pensions is not in the scope of the resurrected Pensions Commission, Liz Kendall has said.
-
The Work and Pensions Secretary has announced that she is reviving the commission, which last met in 2006, to tackle the issue of working-age adults failing to put enough money into their retirement savings.
Experts have warned that people looking to retire in 2050 are on course to receive £800 per year less than current pensioners.
The commission is expected to provide recommendations for how to boost retirement income in 2027.
