A leading industry body has urged pension providers to continue to implement their Pensions Dashboards plans, including how they will connect to the central digital architecture.

The Pensions Dashboards Programme delay announced last week is “deeply frustrating”, according to a former pensions minister.

There is no getting away from the fact that the plans to launch Pensions Dashboards are in trouble with news this week that the Pensions Minister Laura Trott has stepped in to “reset” the timetable.

Pensions Minister Laura Trott said today that the Pensions Dashboards will be delayed and will miss the 31 August deadline when the first connections were due.
