Investment platform AJ Bell said the Government must ensure state pension data is available on the first version of pensions dashboards when they are launched in the UK.

The Pensions Dashboards Programme, a body backed by the Money and Pensions Service, said in a progress report today that it is moving forward but has deferred two major full consultations due to the Coronavirus crisis.

Nearly 1 in 5 people (19%) never access information about their pensions, according to a survey by Populus for the ABI.

More than half of workers (54%) are in the dark about the size of their pension pots, according to a major survey by pensions industry trade body the PLSA.
