096 Have auto enrolment and pension freedoms been a success? with Sir Steve Webb

Steve appeared in episode 87 back in July to discuss State Pensions in general and more specifically his recent report that explores whether thousands of older women are being short-changed on their State Pension. You can listen to that episode here.

 If you’re not familiar with the name, Steve served as Pensions Minister in the coalition government of David Cameron for 5 years.

In this second episode, Steve and I discuss some of the major pension reforms he oversaw during his time with the DWP, including:

-       the success story that is auto enrolment

-       what’s worked about pension freedoms legislation introduced in 2015

Steve also shares the changes around pension legislation he would love to see coming next and what his retirement might look like in a few years’ time.
