Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she is taking to address the barriers faced by pension holders in Yeovil constituency seeking to access their financial data from private pension providers.

The Government is developing pensions dashboards which will allow people to view their pensions picture, including State Pension, securely and in one place online.

Relevant occupational, personal and stakeholder pension schemes are legally required to connect to pensions dashboards and provide pensions information upon request. This will help people to reconnect with their pension pots and better plan for retirement.
