Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Iain Duncan Smith and David Mowat

Monday 22nd June 2015 Commons Chamber

[David Mowat (Warrington South) (Con)]

Earlier, the Minister pointed out that we have brought in a 0.75% cap on private pensions that are subject to auto-enrolment. That is excellent news. However, there is also abusive behaviour more widely in the industry. Do we expect that cap to be extended to non-auto-enrolled pensions?

[Mr Duncan Smith]

At the moment, the cap sits with automatic enrolment, but I am happy to hear the case for extending it. As I said earlier, we will consult on this issue in July and I am happy for my hon. Friend to make some kind of report or submission.
