On 6 March, Stephen asked the Department for Work and Pensions for an update on when the pensions dashboard will be launched.
The pensions dashboard is an online tool that will allow people to view information about their pensions, including their State Pension, online. It will give people more knowledge about their savings and help them find their lost pension pots. 31 August was originally the first connection deadline. However, the government announced they were delaying its launch without offering a new deadline.
Speaking at DWP questions, Stephen asked if the delay was one “of weeks or months or even longer” to a service that would “offer important support”. Laura Trott, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Pensions, promised to “come back to the house at the earliest opportunity.”
