We review the response issued by Her Majesty’s Treasury and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) following their earlier call for evidence on creating a secondary market for annuities.

2016/17 PPF levy

The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) has issued a response to its September 2015 consultation and, alongside it, the final 2016/17 PPF levy determination. We review the key changes following the draft release in September.
