This week, Torsten Bell became the third longest serving pensions minister of the last 20 years... Still a way to go before he overtakes Steve Webb and Guy Opperman though - professionalpensions.com/new…

If the best rates for an annuity at age 65 - escalating at 3% with a survivors’ pension of 50% - are currently c.5.3% then an annual pension income of £70-£80,000 a year would cost a DC saver somewhere between £1.3m and £1.5m if bought at retirement. Is that roughly right? (2)

I have done some very rough calcs... Based on a typical career progression for a doctor in the NHS and the rules of the current 2015 NHS Pension Scheme – a hospital doctor could expect an estimated annual pension income of between £70,000 and £80,000 upon retiring (1)

Emma Reynolds' tenure as pensions minister (189 days) was the third shortest since the role was created in its modern form in July 1998. She is only beaten by John Denham (155 days) and Alex Burghart (38 days). See: professionalpensions.com/new…

HM Treasury has told Professional Pensions it is working on a further package of growth investment measures to bring forward by autumn. The PPF says it 'stands ready' to support both the government and industry.

According to the ONS calculator, my average life expectancy is 84 and I have a 1 in 4 chance of reaching 93... ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationa…

This is absolutely epic. The government is backing Jonathan Gullis' private members' bill to abolishing the lower earnings limit for contributions and reducing the age for being automatically enrolled to 18.
