The Minister for Pensions (Steve Webb)
I am today announcing the proposed automatic enrolment thresholds for next year. We intend to lay an order before Parliament in the new year which will include the following:
£5,824 for the lower limit of the qualifying earnings band;
£42,385 for the upper limit of the qualifying earnings band.
The automatic enrolment earnings trigger will be frozen at £10,000.
I am also publishing the Government’s response to the public consultation on the automatic enrolment earnings thresholds review later today on the gov.uk website. I attach a copy of the Government’s response to the public consultation on the automatic enrolment earnings thresholds review to this statement.
