Given the chaotic performance of the government recently it was something of a surprise this week to see a new financial guidance initiative announced by the returning Pensions Minister Guy Opperman who quit and then returned, at least as a stand in until a new Prime Minister is announced.

The Government is to invest £5m in expanding its mid-life MOTs for people which include a review of financial affairs and retirement plans.

Former Pensions Minister Guy Opperman MP has returned to the Government in a temporary advisory role as Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

Pensions Minister Guy Opperman MP has become the latest Government minister to resign this morning.
