Pensions Commission
Tuesday 13th October 2026

Asked by: Tom Rutland (Labour - East Worthing and Shoreham)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent progress the Pensions Commission has made on its work.

Answered by Torsten Bell - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury)

Last year the Government revived the Pensions Commission to examine how to improve retirement outcomes for future generations. Its interim report, published on 19 May 2026, sets out key challenges with the current system and priorities for their next phase of work. It highlights that too many people, especially low- and middle-income earners, are not saving enough for retirement. The Government looks forward to receiving the Commission’s final report and recommendations in early 2027.

Written Question
Higher Education: Older People
Monday 5th October 2026

Asked by: Tom Rutland (Labour - East Worthing and Shoreham)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to help older people access financial support for higher education.

Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE) will launch for courses starting in January 2027.

The LLE will transform the student finance system in England, broadening access to high-quality, flexible education and training across levels 4 to 6. It will support people to learn, upskill and retrain across their working lives.

The LLE will fund all courses currently funded through the Higher Education Student Finance system and, for the first time, provide access to funding for modules as well as full courses.

All new learners will be able to access a full entitlement equal to 4 years of full-time tuition. Tuition fee loans will be available up to the age of 60. Learners over 60 may still qualify for maintenance support. The vast majority of the working population will therefore have access to this funding, supporting them to retrain and upskill.
