Workplace Pension Reform

Wednesday 1st February 2012 Written Statements

[The Minister of State, Department for Work and Pensions (Steve Webb)]

I am pleased to be able to publish today the Government’s response to consultation on workplace pension reform. The formal consultation, which ran from 18 July to 11 October 2011, addressed the legislative changes recommended by the Making Automatic Enrolment Work review, and sought views on draft regulations published alongside the consultation document.

I would like to thank all those people and organisations who have offered their views and advice in response to our recent consultation.

The Government response document and guidance for those certifying pension schemes will be made available on the Department’s website today. The final versions of the regulations will be available on the Department’s website later today.

I will also place a copy of the Government response document and the guidance in the Library.
