Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what training agents offering guidance through the Pensions Wise scheme will be given before dealing with enquiries; and if he will make a statement.

A high quality and rigorous training programme will ensure all guidance specialists have the required technical knowledge and guidance skills, whether they are delivering guidance face to face or over the phone.

The training programme is being designed in accordance with the standards set by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and is currently being finalised.
