Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, which types of pension scheme will be required to provide information to the pensions dashboard in 2019.

As announced on 19th October 2017 the DWP is leading a feasibility study, working with industry, consumer-facing organisations and the regulators to explore the key issues and determine a path towards implementation for the pensions dashboard.

As part of the feasibility study, the Department is considering how best to ensure the widest possible participation of pension schemes to meet the user need and ensure the dashboard is a success. To inform the study, the Department is looking at the experiences of other countries as well as taking into account the views from different parts of the UK pensions industry. The feasibility report is expected to be published in March 2018.
