PENSION TRANSPARENCY

Early day motion 77, tabled 24 May 2016 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 15 members.

That this House notes recently reported comments by the Chief Economist at the Bank of England that, while he considers himself to be moderately financially literate, he confessed to not being able to make the remotest sense of pensions; expresses alarm that a senior Bank of England economist is reported as making this comment while working people have to try and make sense of their own pension preparations; and calls on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to introduce radical reform, openness, simplicity and transparency so that millions of UK citizens can more adequately prepare for their own retirement.

Signatures by party: DUP 8, Labour 4, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Plaid Cymru 1.
