Workplace Pension Reform

Wednesday 11th July 2012 Written Statements

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

On 12 July 2012, we intend to publish the Government response to the consultation “Revised implementation proposals for workplace pension reform”, which began on 23 March and closed on 4 May 2012. I am grateful to all those who responded with views, thoughts or suggestions.

The response confirms the Government’s timetable for bringing small and micro employers into the workplace pension reforms in the next Parliament and this is reflected in the accompanying regulations.

The Government’s response to the consultation, the amendment regulations and an impact assessment will be available on the Department’s website in due course.

I will also place copies of the consultation and impact assessment in the House Library.
