Ban on cold calling in relation to pensions

Pension scams can cost people their life savings, and leave people facing retirement with limited income, and little or no opportunity to build their pension savings back up. The government is committed to protecting people from pension scams; and pursuing those who perpetuate pension scams wherever possible. The government is implementing a ban on pensions cold calling because cold calling is the most common method used to initiate pensions scams. Following a previous consultation on the policy, this consultation seeks technical views on draft regulations to ban pensions cold calling to ensure the regulations are robust and effective.
