Pensions UK welcomes Pensions Commission
21 July 2025, Press Release
Julian Mund, Chief Executive of Pensions UK, said:
“Pensions UK supports the ambition this Government is showing by setting up a second stage of the landmark Pensions Commission, 20 years on. There is a significant job to finish: Pensions UK research shows one in five working households are on course to fall short of the income needed to meet the Minimum Retirement Living Standard. Higher pension contributions must become the norm, with more people brought into saving, and a State Pension that always protects against poverty.
“We are currently undertaking research to explore how building more flexibility into the automatic enrolment system might deliver better outcomes overall, as an input to this work.
“Pensions UK has a clear purpose: to help everyone achieve a better income in retirement. We are optimistic the Commission will make real strides towards delivering a pension system that is adequate, affordable and fair, and stand ready to lend our expertise to the review panel as they tackle these vital issues.”
