Introduce a Pension Tax Lock to help protect retirement savings and incentives

We believe this simple commitment could put an end to the speculation seen ahead of every Budget – speculation which we think erodes confidence in long-term saving and can all-too-often lead to people making poor, sometimes irreversible, financial decisions. We think this would come at zero cost to the Exchequer and would allow people to save for retirement with more confidence. We feel it could support the government’s twin aims of delivering pensions adequacy and boosting economic growth.
