§ 21. Mr. FlightTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what plans he has to introduce(a) incentives and (b) negative disincentives to the self-employed to take out stakeholder pension contracts. [73058]
§ Mr. TimmsThere are no such plans. Our proposals for stakeholder pension schemes were laid out in the Green Paper.
The self-employed will be able to join stakeholder pension schemes. We expect that many of them will benefit from the improved security, flexibility and value for money offered by such schemes.
