Written Answers
Workplace Pensions: Public Sector Asked by: Lord Gilbert of Panteg (Conservative - Life peer) Tuesday 6th October 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Pitt-Watson on 3 August (HL2690), whether there is sufficient advance notice to make the changes to the pension age that have been costed by the Office for Budget Responsibility but not formally announced by the Government; and whether the review is also considering the minimum age at which one can claim a private pension of 57. Answered by Baroness Sherlock - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) The third State Pension age Review will consider what the timetable for any State Pension age changes should be in the coming decades. The Review must report by the end of March 2029. No decisions have yet been made. The Government is committed to providing clear and sufficient notice of any changes to the State Pension age, so people can properly plan for their retirement. The Review will not consider the appropriate level for the Normal Minimum Pension Age, the lowest age at which members can usually take benefits from a registered pension scheme without incurring tax charges.
Monetary Policy Asked by: Lord Gilbert of Panteg (Conservative - Life peer) Monday 21st September 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Pitt-Watson on 1 September (HL2691), what was the cost of obtaining the photographic licence to illustrate the HM Treasury accounts with the image of the Can’t we just print more money books; and whether HM Treasury endorses the book’s substantive recommendation on not printing more money as a tool of fiscal and monetary policy. Answered by Lord Pitt-Watson - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury) The image was selected from HM Government's approved image library because it was relevant to the subject matter discussed in the Annual Report and Accounts. In particular, it related to quantitative easing and the Bank of England Asset Purchase Facility Fund Limited (BEAPFF), which is associated with the most material elements of HM Treasury's accounts. The Government agrees that increasing the money supply cannot by itself increase the economy's productive capacity or sustainably raise living standards. The Government's monetary policy framework is based on the objective of maintaining low and stable inflation through an operationally independent Bank of England.
