John Glen
Minister of State (Treasury) (City), The Economic Secretary to the Treasury
In 2014 the government announced it would increase the minimum pension age to 57 from 2028, reflecting trends in longevity and encouraging individuals to remain in work, while also helping to ensure pension savings provide for later life.
That announcement set out the timetable for this change well in advance to enable people to make financial plans and will be legislated for in due course.
