The Government has been urged to announce a Pensions Bill during the King’s speech at the state opening of Parliament tomorrow.

The Private Member's Bill to extend auto-enrolment (AE) has cleared Parliament and been granted Royal Assent.

The Pension Schemes Bill - deferred from the last Parliament - has returned to the legislature with a raft of changes planned including new legislation to advance the Pensions Dashboard.

The sweeping Conservative victory in yesterday’s general election means the much delayed Pensions Bill is likely to be back on the agenda soon, say a number of leading financial services experts.
