Rachel Reeves is preparing to announce the revision of the pension regime when he makes a speech at Mansion House this month.
It will appoint a commission to look at the adequacy of the retirement system, including the level of savings between chancellor, self -employment, state pension and automatic subtraction rates.

Johnson said that the suggestions of the thinking agency will “support the state pension, help workers to save more – but only when they are better placed to do so – and that individuals will help them to benefit from retirement pots in the best way”.
