Complex state pension white paper delayed

The paper, which had been due to come out in the spring, will set out how the government plans to increase payouts to a flat-rate £140 per week and changes to the state pension age. It was confirmed in the Budget that state pension age would be linked to longevity. He said the "scale, complexity and importance" of the reforms meant it was essential the project was not rushed. A written ministerial statement said: "Therefore, we will set out further detail on both the single tier reform and state pension age review mechanism in a white paper in the autumn."
