Pensions Act 2007

A vote to support means
- —Supporting this Act means backing changes to help people save more for retirement and have better pensions. It aims to make sure people have enough money to live on when they stop working, by gradually raising the retirement age and encouraging employers to automatically enrol workers into pension schemes.
A vote to oppose means
- —Critics worry that raising the retirement age means people have to work longer before they can stop and collect their pension. Some people are concerned about the cost to employers of automatic pension enrolment, and others feel it's unfair to those in physically demanding jobs who struggle to work into their later years.
