| Annotation | Age Concern England (ACE) highlights issues that it sees key to personal accounts being introduced successfully, that it would want the Work and Pensions Committee to consider. ACE particularly believes that the needs of members must be central to the scheme's development, and which takes into account the needs of those with low and interrupted earnings, for example by allowing modest lump sums to be added. Other concerns covered are: appropriateness of information and advice; annuities; ensuring that saving pays; and monitoring and reviewing pension reform. Some clarity is also sought regarding how the Personal Accounts Delivery Authority (PADA) will operate. (RH). |
